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.

MAST prepares students for college very well, with a focus on STEM and excellent teachers. The student body is very small but close-knit. There are many unique opportunities at the school like the campus being in a national park, learning on a boat, and more.

I have had several friends be forced to leave over how little assistance they received for bullying and discrimination coming from both students and staff.
