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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I've gone to Mountain Ridge for all my four years of high school and it truly has been such an amazing experience. The teachers were amazing and I learned so much from them. I got to experience so many different clubs and sports while there. At the end of high school Mountain Ridge has made me so ready for college. I know how to put myself out there and joining clubs even if I'm uncomfortable. I've learned how to become a better student and how to use my resources. Mountain Ridge is truly such an amazing school.

All three of my kids had educational opportunities to develop for college. One became a chemical engineer who also went on to get her MBA. My second kid got a degree in bio...
The teachers and staff were really the greatest I highly recommend this school. They help children to manage whatever their needs are to do well in school.
I would NEVER Recommend This high school unfortunately it's the one that my son can be bussed too. They do not encourage a student's wellbeing nor mental health.
