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.

Throughout these past 4 years, there have been a lot of ups and downs regarding my education. I have been able to stay consistent in maintaining all A's, but some teachers have made it really difficult to do so. There were points where I felt ignored by teachers and I felt alone in asking for help. But at the same time, there are a few groups of teachers that I will never forget. They were outstanding in their performance and made me want to pursue further education after highschool.

Muchin College Prep was like a second home to me. This school truly cares about their scholars and how they are doing not only academic wise but mentally. The all-around support students receive from staff and teachers is amazing.

Muchin will prepare you for college, no doubt. Teaches your child to be responsible, to make the right choices and gets them exposed to what options are out there as far as universities.

I have been to Muchin College Prep, and it is the worst high school I've ever been to. Which made me transfer to Marie Curie Sklodowska, Muchin College Prep says many things that makes it LOOK outstanding, but it is really not. In the parent perspective, it is good for kids that need discipline, but...
