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.

Mercer County High School is well organized and has a great arts and music program. There are lots of different activities that anyone can participate in. The only problem might be how few teachers there are in the school district.

I like this school only for the friends i have made in it. Otherwise, I feel as though I have been deprived of a good education. Maybe a larger school would have given me better opportunities to develop. Some teachers do not prove to be a reliable source regardless of the subject.

The school seems to be more focused on athletics, football in particular. Other sports and extracurricular activities don't get near the attention. There are not many activities other than sports.
