Monrovia High School Reviews

“As a senior at Monrovia High, I have mixed feelings about my time here. Outside of AP classes, the regular classes at MHS are dumbed down to a level that fails to challenge gifted students. I find that teachers at our school are mixed, you will find some outstanding ones and some horrible teachers. Athletic facilities at our school are outdated, but they are currently undergoing construction with the passage of a new bond plan.”

“Monrovia High School is the absolute best! Even though its kind of boring at lunch the academic classes and just every class overall is GREAT! I know these 4 years are SO going to be worth it. The teachers are really easy to get along whereas the students aren't but you'll learn to cope trust me<<<<-----its a good school way better than any other schools. [:”

“I must say honestly that Monrovia High School is great. The staff does interact with the students and the atmosphere is very positive and laid-back. I am going to graduate from MHS on June 11,2008 and I am proud to represent such a great school!”

“Ridiculous administation. Parents must contact councelors to get their attention or else they rarely see the students.”

“All three of my children have attended MHS. Overall it has been an unsatisfactory experience. The counselors, up until this year have never paid any attention. And we have always tried to be 'in touch' with the staff. I must say, I am happy that this will be our last year. Aside from a handful of teachers and the same of the office staff, it would be terrific for future students to have a revamped staff.”

“As a graduate of MHS, I must say that it is a great school to attend. Though the Academic Curriculum may be shallow and lacking college level challenges, there is so much to learn about life at MHS. The key to making Monrovia High School work for you is to get involved. There are so many different things to do outside of education and sports, and perhaps most importantly, the diversity of people and cultures teaches a student tolerance and they learn about other cultures through the schools Cultural Diversity programs and assemblies. MHS is great school for any student who wants to live life and for any parent who wants their child not only to learn educationally but to also learn valuable life skills. -Darryl”

“Monrovia High has quite a bit to improve on...It needs a fresh new group of energetic teachers which would be a great asset to the students as well as the parents. I have three students attending and we are considering relocating. Not satisfied.”

“I am a student of Monrovia High, and overall I have had a great experience. I find there to be a diversity of activities, people, and elective courses at MHS; I have had a handful of highly motivational teachers during my four years; I have always felt safe and comfortable on the beautiful campus; and I have taken part in one of the best video production and drama departments in the area. My biggest complaint is that I feel academically unchallenged in most of the regular courses, and find the Advanced Placement courses to be less that college level. Ultimately however, it is more of an issue of the shallow state-curriculum and lack of parental support; I don't blame Monrovia teachers completely. Ultimately if I had a child, I would send them to Monrovia.”

“Monrovia could improve their academic programs and parent follow up. I found that once I started an inquiry about my child, the administrators initially reacted, but then follow up slacks off. Extracurricular activities are about average. Parent involvement is a positive aspect of the school. Most events are well attended and the community is also involved with each school.”

“Monrovia High School currently lacks a effective math and science program, and requires only 2 years of math and science. Additionally, my son complains about the lack of academic programs, and has displayed outrage about the how teacher is giving 6th grade work. Parent involovement is quite low, and most parents are not aware about their child's teachers. Overall, I am very disappointed about this school, and I plan to send my child to private school next year.”

“This school is wonderful. Nestled in the foothills of Monrovia is my high school alma mater. Monrovia high school is absolutely wonderful. They have a aquatic team, and outstanding softball, baseball and track team, not to mention a fabulous chior. The athletics are great, but the teachers are what make Monrovia High School stand out. The current staff are all residents of the San Gabriel valley and some of the new and younger staff are even former students who can related to the teen-agers of today. If your looking for a down home old fashion school to have your child go to and your a very involved parent who enjoys being a participant in your child's learning and athletic abilities this is the school for you!”
