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 graduated from Iron Mountain High School, and there was some favoritism, especially if you played a specific sport. There are a lot of co-op teams with the neighboring school, Kingsford, because otherwise there wouldn't be the funding or student base to support it. A lot of the facilities cater toward basketball, football, and track. If you're in a different sport, often times you had to find your own solution to the issues you and your team faced.

I transferred to Iron Mountain High School my junior year. I was automatically accepted by my peers and the principal made the admission process a breeze. The teachers are so wonderful at what they do and really do their best at making everyone feel included. I have to say that Iron Mountain is the first school that I have felt excited to go into each morning and safe, which is my number one priority as a teenager.

I came to this school my junior year and could not have been happier. I have made many friends, and the staff is very friendly. I have found myself being more successful at this school compared to my previous.

Iron Mountain Public Schools are the place to succeed! Small class sizes & a veteran staff work well with students on all levels to make sure all students have a positive learning experience. Our schools are a Mountaineer family, where students support their classmates in academics, music, and athle...

Iron Mountain schools is a district in flux. There are some really great teachers and great kids at Iron Mountain, but there is a truly WEAK administration. The financial management is poor - they are operating a budget in the red and currently reporting to the State of Michigan. There are staff cut...

In a town known for brain drain, Iron Mountain Public Schools is the best example of an organization filled with low quality teachers who just don't know any better. Most of the staff have gone to the same school (northern) and teach through worksheets and old lesson plans. Discipline and quiet clas...
