MHS is like that little sibling that you absolutely hate but if anyone else that’s not in your family criticizes them, you get angry. I’ve had a lot of awful experiences at minnetonka and I know that if anyone important read this review, they’d ignore it or delete it so other people couldn’t see it. This school has a lot of issues with all talk and no act. I see posters everywhere about how the school cares about my health and I almost laugh because I know it’s not true. If it were then they wouldn’t try to cut all of my classes for a whole semester because I missed a few days of school because of a severe illness. This would have caused me to attend summer school all summer, which might not have been enough to catch me up. If they cared they wouldn’t have forced me to continue finals when I was sick and nearly throwing up. If they cared they wouldn’t turn a blind eye to the multiple students having mental break downs in the hallways over school work. But as long as we keep up a good GPA school wide, that’s all that matters right? Let me talk about sports now. From my perspective, the school is fairly sexist when it comes to sports. I haven’t heard of any male sport having issues with funding, but multiple female sports have and even nearly lost a season because they were not supported enough by the school. The activities director in particular should be fired, everyone knows that he doesn’t care at all about the female sports. Speaking of sexism, let’s talk about in the classroom. I cannot recall a single time where we were taught about female leaders and historic icons, but I could name at least a handful of women who made history now because I learned them myself. That may not be my school’s fault, but instead the school board’s. Either way, it needs to be changed because it is unacceptable that the only history we are taught is about straight white men messing everything up. I wish that I could speak freely about the issues I have with this school. Because if I did then I would be more open to speak about the wonderful things that I love about my school. But I honestly fear that saying these things to anyone in the administration will land me in trouble. I personally never experienced any bullying apart from friend drama, and the only real issue I have with students is how jusgementsl they are about how smart you are or how you look. But my rap issue is with the administration. Some of them are amazing and kind but I can tell that the majority of the administration hates children. It’s clear when I’m being snapped at by adult faculty for no reason. Minnetonka, do better.

Graduated last year, so here's my two cents: Pretty terrible place if you're not a extremely popular kid who does AP classes, Student Government, and sports. If you're anything like I was ( that being, quiet, alternative, artsy, unique, etc.) , you're gonna have a rough time. Even if you are popular, you're probably not going to like it. If the by pretty heavy drug use among students is any indication. Every attempt I made to get involved in any sort of capacity was met with hostility and malice by the frankly incompetent administrative team. When I tried to start a club in my Junior year, the staff who ran the overseeing of clubs didn't even care enough to get the name of the club correct, even though I sent multiple emails to fix it, they still listed it wrong at every activities fair and even the yearbook. In addition, whenever I did something the administration didn't like, they would threaten to dismantle my club, which was a social gathering for 20 plus people, who were mostly in a similar situation to me, that is, not being part of the 'in' crowd, as it were. I was also banned from making announcements for my club on the morning video show, because I made a joke about everyone getting coal for Christmas. The fact of the matter is that the entire staff force takes themselves entirely too seriously for the jobs they were doing. There are some fantastic teachers who really do care about the subjects that they're teaching, and want their students to do well. But for every good teacher, there are 4 or 5 who are completely apathetic, or those who are unwilling to extend even the smallest amount of care to the pupils they've been tasked to teach. During my senior year, the library was giving away old books that they could no longer store. Me, being an avid reader, went down and got about 4 or 5 books that looked interesting. The librarian then looked at me, and insulted my reading ability by stating that not only would I not be able to read 4 books, but that I wouldn't understand them if I could. The Special Ed program was a joke to the point of it being detrimental to anyone involved. Instead of having a teacher trained to deal with IEPs (Individualized Education Program), they gave us a gym teacher with a 'my way or the highway' type of attitude. Anyone who knows anything about Special Ed knows that is the absolute worst mentality to have when dealing with students. In addition, we were in a room mixed with students who would become violent when told they had to do any sort of work. Do you honestly think someone with a mild condition like ADD, ASD, etc, is going to find success in a room like that? Because I sure didn't. The administrative staff is full of cold, jaded people who have no business working with children of any age. I vividly remember finding a note from a student who planned on taking their own life during my Sophomore year. After bringing it to the staff and checking in on the well being of the student for several weeks, I was told by the assistant principle that I had a poorly developed empathy and emotional response during a discussion. Putting aside the fact that an educator resorted to insulting a student, to say something like that to someone who clearly cares about the life of another student is absolutely tone deaf. In conclusion, MHS represents the American education system at its absolute worst. You would honestly be better homeschooling your child, then sending them to a terrible place like this.
