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.

Mayo High School is a very advanced school with teaching skills. The overall environment is very welcoming and friendly. The teacher will nine times outta ten do anything that will help advance your knowledge in situations that you are lost on that topic. The staff is very supportive for example we start new clubs that is brought upon by students and their creative ideas. I really love being at Mayo High School. It has cleanly environment for the outside and inside the school. We are very college ready and the administration is welcoming for any questions or giving advice. Overall the school is amazing and I would recommend anyone I talk to or that is interested to this school to apply for all the great benefits that are available for students.
