From my own experience and my great disappointment, i will share few things:
504 plan violations: teachers don't respect or follow a single rule in it.
The school assistant principal ordered the school security officer to use violence to get my child to leave the bathroom when she was hiding there because she had an anxiety attack (the school has the instruction from the psychologist in the 504 docs when she hides) .
The school refused to accept a medical statement from a military doctor (pediatrician) who was requesting from the school to work with us her family as she is arriving tardy to school few minutes daily because of her condition and the medications she takes that cause insomnia.

Administration is very impressive. They work as a team and get answers and the job done. The Principal, Mr Surry knows his Students, attends Games and is totally approachable! I have heard him called "Mr Menchville".

So many opportunities for every type of learner. Lots of tutoring and afterschool options to get Students to meet their full potential.

Students are taught to report when something doesn't seem right and to make a difference not just join in or say nothing!

I have been completely impressed with Menchville High School! It is scary sending your 1st kid off to high school but, after 2 years of Menchville HS both academically and with sports I can only say Great things. This school has something for everyone to excel in!

It's an okay school. My son graduated from this school years ago. Staff and teachers are all good. The only problem with this school are the fights. Even with security and cameras they couldn't prevent the fighting. Other than that problem, every thing is great with this school.
