GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My Experience at Minor High School has been well because of there staff there staff makes sure that you get the sources you need to succeed in educational purposes and also there food is okay its not the best and i for sure think that that's something that they should absolutely be changed and also another thing they need to improve on is planning events making every one notified maybe a week in advanced or so just to assure that people are prepared for example maybe we would have a Martin Luther king program you would most likely announce on the Morning announcements when the program is going to be held and what time but one other good thing i can say about my current high school is that we have good football games and excellent ways of handling punishment and i can say my experience at Minor was a good quality experience i never got in trouble or in any conflict the school as long as you do what you have to do you shouldn't have any issues

The seniors trash the place every year on home coming, those kids are evil. Do not recommend for quiet students. They'll act like they're non existent, this pertains to teachers too. Do not recommend for mature students as they won't fit in with the others. My child had to be taken out.

Any concerns I have had I brought them to the appropriate person(s) and they are addressed in a timely mat...
