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 MST #197 was an amazing experience, I graduated with a 3.5 gpa and many valedictorian awards over the years. The staff is amazing and I appreciate all the effort put into focusing on my education and my career.

Math, Science, and Technology prep is a pretty decent school. Although many students may not take things very seriously and may be disrespectful, the staff treats each student respectfully as an adult. They work with each kid to ensure that they will graduate and motivate them to pursue an education past high school. However, it would be nice to see a little more diversity and better student behavior and responses.
