"NOT A GOOD SCHOOL. School authorities are not doing a good job. My children are new in this high school and I already met 10 parents who have complains about how they are not happy on how the school authorities work. Moreover, I personal have been in this school and observed how students are outside their classes, going to the bathroom 3 or 4 times the same the same students and nobody call their attention."

"Now that our student is just about ready to graduate from MBHS I have to say MBHS and staying in our neighborhood schools K-12 was the best decision we could have made. Thanks to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme our student not only has had an excellent education but also a well rounded high school experience including sports, music, art and summer educational trips with the MBHS Travel Club to China, Russia and Egypt. Most of all, we appreciate our student's diverse set of peers and the kindness and support they have displayed for each other throughout the years. My recommendation to parents who send their students to MBHS is to get involved - meet the teachers, join the PTO, attend sport events etc. It has been an unexpected pleasure to really get to know the dedicated MBHS teachers and also to have become friends with so many fabulous and like minded parents."

"MBHS continues to get more local familes deciding this is a good place to send their kids. Yes, it is challenged by the budget cuts and the huge and unweilding SDUSD politics. The IB program sets it apart and provides for additional sources of funding and academics continue to strengthen. Don't expect an efficient and customer service oriented administration like a private school. Do expect to find most of the teachers excellent and committed and a very few rotten apples protected by the teachers union. It is a very safe real world environment. Also, your student will have a better chance of acceptance at a public college / university if they graduate from here versus a high acheiver private school. Yes, students come from all over San Diego to MBHS. But, they do it because they want to take advantage of either the athletic programs or academic programs it offers. The local PB students and their families are involved in the school and the local community. Check it out!"

"Like so many schools, the staff at Mission Bay High School has gone through many challenges the past few years. However, having three teens who have and are still growing up at Mission Bay High, the staff, counseling office and teachers have worked with me to assure my students succeed, continue to respect the importance of learning and living within the boundaries set for them at school - that alone is amazing - it takes both school staff and the parent. Thank you for being my other half and helping me raise my 3 wonderful teenagers! Fondly, Mission Bay High School Mom"

"MBHS has been an excellent school for our son. Academically, he is on track for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The curriculum is rigorous, challenging and dynamic. If you have not done your research on IB you owe it to your student to check it out on the MBHS website. It is THE ticket to college these days. MBHS is our neighborhood school and I have found our son's friends (many he has known since elementary) and also his new friends to be kind, well rounded and unpretentious. Overall, I can best describe MBHS by saying it is an empowering environment for students academically, socially and athletically. This empowering environment has made a remarkable contribution to the overall self esteem of our teenager which, as a parent, has been invaluable. Finally, I would be remiss to not mention the excellent teachers who have been accessible and responsive."
