    "Good school just not the school for me. Teachers are superb and really prepare you for the SAT/ACT/AP tests. However, one thing that was difficult about this was how competitive the ranking system was. In order to be in the top 10% you must have all A's and if you make more than a few B's expect to be bumped out of the second quarter. It is much more rigorous than most other schools. Also the area is much too expensive to live in for a normal working class family. The students there are mainly of the upper income status and I was not. It felt very exclusive there and the students are not very welcoming. Even the teachers act elitist,for most of them are former mustangs, and everyone, student and staff, live in what some of us students call the "memorial bubble", because it's so isolated from the real world. All in all, I give it 2 stars."

    "The new Principal does not seem to achieve anything to the school yet. Can not find any email communication to students/parents. Appeared to be very much slack off compared to Straford High Principal. At least one of the Spanish teachers can not speak English very well at all. Students can not understand her English nor Spanish!! Some of the teachers did not grade the tests/quiza promptly."

    "Memorial High School has a great education. Although education is very important, my daughter disliked this school. She felt as if you have to act or dress a certain way in order to "fit in" with the popular teenagers. This made her feel very left out. I'm not naming names, but certain girls were disturbing and picking on my daughter. I tried to talk to the school about this but they seemed to not do anything about it. I ended up getting a better price range on some apartments zoned to Spring Woods High School. My daughter felt so much better here, and everyone made her feel comfortable."

    "I love memorial! I am currently a student there and it is such a great enviroment. I came from a private school and this is my first year public and it is a GREAT change! The teaches really do want to help and try to encourage you as much as they can, that lacked at private schools. My fellow students are really nice and great. Don't listen to the stereotypes of "you will only fit in if you have a BMW or Benz" haha no that is not true. If you are nice to others people will like you :) I would really look into sending your child here because it is a great expierence and i know it is getting me well prepared for the finest colleges! The class of 2011 had over 50+ students going to University of Texas this year! WOW. Tell me you are not impressed?"

    "Memorial has really good teachers in the pre-AP and AP track classes, particularly math and science. It does not have comparable strength in English, languages, or social studies, and the "grade level" classes are very unevenly taught in every subject. Because of extra GPA weight given to preAP/AP classes, good students with all As in their classes can rank in lower half of the class below students who had Cs in preAP classes and may not learn key concepts. So if your child did not take HS science or math in middle school, or is smart but disorganized, they may not do well here even if they try hard."
