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.

For me I did enjoy my stay at Matoaca High School. I took some of my favorite classes here along with meeting some of my closest friends. The only bad experience I ever had with this school would be communicating with some of the facility. I would want them to make it easier to communicate with them and to have more opportunities.

My experience so far has been good, but there are some changes I would like. I think some of the worst parts is not being treated as a student but as a child, but some of the best parts is that I have grown a lot. I would like to see more opportunities outside of math, science, and technology for the school.
