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.

I think my experience at Massaponax was interesting to say the least, one day it was a normal day like every other day we'd have, nothing really going on, but the next day it would be all over the place. Now the academics and teachers were very good, and I learned a lot. The administrators my senior year were good as well. I would like to see more school spirit.

My experience at Massaponax high has been good. The best parts of the school is the education and how big the school is. The worst part is some of the students. I would like to see more options at this school.

I like my school, but there are many ways where it can be improved. For example, the senior court yard.

Can I give a one? This school is AWFUL. The teachers don’t care about the students for the most part, maybe here and there you will have a great teacher but that’s not enough for four years of multiple classes. The special ed department is great except the teachers aren’t on board with the IEP proto...

This school is run by poor educators, an educator isn’t defined by their degree or education. To me a good educator is someone who innovates and pushes kids to do better and inspires them. This school has inspired me to remove my son from them and place in a much better learning environment all toge...
