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.

It is an okay middle school, there is nothing really special about it. You'll get an average middle school experience. However the librarian at the time I attended was quite amazing.

switched during after 7th grade to this school, and I really can't say i'm impressed. I had a very mediocre experience there in . The school has no clubs or activities, no interesting classes to take, The Students are out of control, G/T students are idolized, while others are swept under the rug, and teachers like Mrs. Kathleen Striecker, Mrs. Chin, and Mr. Chrzanowski lack competence and empathy while teaching. I wouldn't recommend it.

What makes this school unique is it's caring and talented staff. Another aspect that we love is MHMS's diversity. It is a great place!

My experience at mhms has been honestly pitiful so far. The worse part is that some students are genuinely wonderful people but the bad ones stick out so much and make the experience so terrible it’s hard to get by. With the very frequent physical and verbal fights going on left and right, vandaliza...

Our school went into a lockdown for a kid . Then basically nobody does anything work related and instead focus solely on relationships. There no such thing as really helping each other out in tough situations or religious beliefs and the food is always soggy.
