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.

Moving to Mounds View high school from a different high school was a hard experience and the people at the school are what made it worse. I would like there to be better culture and more mental health support.

this school has an incredible emphasis on taking hard classes (AP/other college in the schools classes) to the point where it's almost a toxic culture. This school also puts a huge emphasis on sports over music and arts. It was renovated a few years back and we got an entirely new gym, an indoor track, a weight room, and classrooms, all of which barely get used. the music rooms got nothing, the auditorium got nothing, and the art classes got nothing.
