I am a former student of Mayer High School. I went here during my freshman year, and it was absolutely awful. There is countless discrimination towards those who are of the African-American race from students, bullying is a major problem, a majority of the teachers taught poorly, especially in the science and mathematics departments of this school. Typically, from my experience (last year,) about half of the students are friendly to newcomers and some are not, which does appear typical but I know that people are bound to be picked on and pushed to the last of their wits here.

There has been issues with the superintendent, but the teachers and coaches step up and empower the students. They work hard on getting the students to find their potential and push to better themselves. Over the past few years, they went from a failing, or near failing grade to a B.

The turnover in teachers is something to be concerned about. For the 2017/2018 year, there are 2 new out of a total of 2 math teachers. 2 new out of a total of 2 English teachers, 1 new out of 1 Science teaching position and 1 new physical education out of 1. Out of 5 core subjects being taught (Math, English, Science, History, P.E.), there are 6 out of 7 new teachers. Why can't MUSD hold on to their teachers???

Some teachers can be good about pushing students to sucess but most push them down and lead them to failure the School also did not offer extra curricular activities such as art drama technicians or any interesting subject

I think that this school has a terrrific staff, principal, superintendent and board. Recent changes have all been improvements and very effective.

Mayer Junior/Senior High School is a sad example of Arizona's lack of focus on education. It is an inadequate school serving mostly at risk students, and not doing it well. There are some great teachers here, but they get no support from the board or administration. They are paid nearly nothing, less than almost every other school district in the state. The board hires administrators out of retirement whose sole focus is to reduce costs and cut student programs. There is no library, no overhead projectors, few books, no school nurse. There is no formal discipline policy, and favortism is shown to school athletes and children of employees. I could go on, but you get the picture. Enough said.
