If you’re going to host a Middle School Wrestling tournament, it would be nice if you didn’t have a high school wrestling practice at the same time. You prevent the middle school teams from doing proper warm ups before the tournament, and it is a safety issue.

Best school ever! Most supportive staff you will ever meet, especially the Principal, Scott Sage. He has helped my family numerous times over the years by being fair and reasonable as well as beyond kind. Lorri Duren and Kathy Nickell make life so much easier when calling and George Smith is always eager to help with what the families need. Thank you MRHS staff for always going above and beyond for all kids!!! (and parents)

Both of my sons are graduates of Mesa Ridge High and the oldest went on to the US ARMY and the youngest in UNC Greeley. My oldest son Mykal Torres is a state champ and his photo can be viewed, next to the basketball gym. I also have 2 step daughters attending; one who is a senior and A member of the Honor Society. I strongly recommend this school. By the way, we are not from Colorado and have no friends or relatives working at Mesa Ridge.

How to be Mesa Ridge High School staff1. Care ONLY about Athletic programs2. Cry when those programs fail every single year3. Tell kids to f**k off when they come to you depressed and looking for help4. Act suprised when someone kills themselves5. Repeat step 3 and 4 and number of times.6. Shove liberal politics down everyones throats.7. Allow kids to be Xenophobic, and hate all foreigners.8. Not care at all about the futures of the students9. Collect fat paycheck and do it all again.

Mesa Ridge High School seems like an average high school, but what is unknown is that it is a clingy small town environment in Security, Colorado. I would not recommend sending your children here unless you are an administrator, work in the district, or know the counselors personally because otherwise your children will be given little to none assistance with college and be mistreated the four years they attend. I am military parent and have experienced seven different school districts and district 3 has proven to be the worst. My child had a 4.2 GPA was involved with everything (including sports and clubs) and had over 200 hours of community service and after multiple times of my child personally going down to the counselor center they gave her scholarship applications, however all of the deadlines were 2011 or 2012. However, the children who are in the peer tutoring program within the school, that the counselors set up, have all been notified of multiple different scholarships from this year and have been given a hand in completing them.Other than the lack of help with college the academics are not great. The school received a grant to help students pass AP exams, but in departments like Science it did not do any significance because the teacher does not know what they are doing- only 1/30 biology kids passed the exam. Other than that the sports programs are good in some areas like football and girls basketball, but in anything else pretty much blow in everything else. There are a few coaches who have been coaching for eight years and still fail to hold any preseason practices or develop any athlete’s skills, and do not even make them practice during the season, and the athletic director has been notified various times and will not do anything about it. So for all military parents who want their kids to succeed at a sport other than football or girls basketball send your kids to Fountain Fort Carson High School.

This school does not enforce the importance of education. They are only concerned about your child graduating from high school. What happens after HIGH SCHOOL? My daughter attended school @ Mesa 9-11 grade. Played basketball for them the entire time. She did NOT want to attend her last year there. Said she wanted a different experience. We moved to another state, and she experienced REAL EDUCATION. All the kids had GOALS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL; and thats all they talked about. She was so depressed, not knowing much about GPA scores. Finally finding out that hers was too low to get into the college of HER CHOICE; She only had 1yr to complete her mission. My daughter worked hard that last school year. Ended up getting a scholarship (as did MAJORITY of her new friends) to play basketball at a excellent college. Mesa never expressed the importance of their GPAs. Thank God for stepping in and SHOWING FAVOR to my daughter. If youre looking for a good school, keep looking....its not Mesa. All they care about is winning their games.

Mesa Ridge might seem like a fancy school, but it has been criticized for being bad. Hopefully, Mesa Ridge makes its own district. Besides, no one should be fooled by how new this school is, just look at it, a rushed place, I know what their mystery meat is made out of, rats. Mesa Ridge also has a kooky relationship with Sproul Junior High, and Widefield seems to have better father bonding with Sproul Junior High than Mesa, and poor King Elementary, a school that looks like an H, seems to not be happy going to Mesa at all. Mesa Ridge is like the North Korea of Widefield, as poor Sproul is like Vietnam. I havent gone there, but I heard it wasnt really a good school, I am sorry!

A lot of people will tell you it was a bad school. I went there it is better then most the students dont care enough but the staff will try their hardest they even do after school studying and a lot of other things if you had a bad time dont blame the school, they helped me with a kid that was stalking me really badly

The disciplinary staff are bias and judgmental and uncaring good teachers thoPs screw you MattaPss screw you sage

My sistet go there amd I say it is npt a bacl school I mean a schools a school

Drinking teenage girl partying and drinking with adult soilders!!! Beware of the girls your children befriend

Coming from someone who went to the school. I hated it. The teachers and faculty dont care about their students. They only care about their athletics team. They say they care about you and is there to help when what they mean is if your on our athletic team we do everything to help you including grade you on a curve.

I mean yeah they have unnecessary discipline ways but we still learn from them tho.

It does not want teach us at all. It all bad.

Majority of the teachers cant teach and they only care about the athletes.

I never went here, and I dont know much about the school, but I heard everyone was a terrible person.

I like this school a lot
