(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - A pretty good school, if you're in the honors/AP program. The English department was a place where learning went to die. The science and math departments were generally excellent, however. The physics department was an especially bright spot, and the athletic programs were decent. Extracurricular activities were very strong, excluding school dances.

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Awesome school. Though the football program was never really that good, the academic basis of this school is sound. Mesquite is the only school in the East Valley that offers a Advanced Placement Physics with a Calculus concentration.
