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 think Mortimer Jordan High School does a great job at providing us as many opportunities as possible after we graduate, but I think they need to do a better job at getting the student body involved in the school activites.

I would rate my experience at this school a 10/10 because of the faculty that cared so much about me and my education and preparing me for the next steps in life. I felt very prepared and confident after graduating.

Excellent. Our third child is enrolled as a freshman. Our first received full tuition to Auburn University in large part because of the leadership and development that she experienced at Mortimer Jordan.
