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.

There isn't much to be proud of when it comes to Morton High School. The school lacked in many aspects including but not limited to education, cleanliness, and safety. The school and the teachers try to give their students an education and that's something you have to respect.

The school is alright. It's only my second year at the school but it could be a little better in my opinion.

I can always expect every day to be different inside and outside the classroom. Most of the people there are tremendous and show an interest in the arts, seeing as how part of our school does include an arts program. Some rules could be enforced more, but it seems unlikely they will ever be.

I am a former student. This school is a prison not some "Utopia of Choice" as its made out to be. How much choice can you have when you are watched by security cameras every minute!? How much choice can you have when you cant even choose your own clothes!? AND there are NO classes that teach LIFE SK...
