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.

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 loved my time at MAST, there was always some one to talk to about anything I was going through, weither it was a teacher, fellow classmate, or office worker. It did have some faults, but so does every school. I believe they are a bit too strict when it comes to being in certain areas but I do believe it is for the better.

Some ways my school can benefit more would be to have more clubs/classes like performing arts classes. Also more interactive field trips. Some things I love about my school are our school spirit, teachers, field days, and the many activities like United Way and fundraisers towards our senior year.

It may not be worst but a terrible experience is that we did gym outside in a nearby park due to my school missing a gym facility. The best experiences I've had were the events that were hosted for school spirit.

The teachers prepare them very well for college by developing time management, individual advancement and desire to achieve top level. If student pays attention in...

I guess this school is good if you don't want to have a personal life. It's impossible to juggle your own wellbeing, personal and social life, and extracurricular activities at this school.
