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.

Machias is a very small school but it's the best place to meet and make friends. The teachers there will become your friends and will be there for whenever you need them. I've learned a lot about Machias over the years and the community is so caring and supportive. If you ever decide to go to Machias it will be once place you remember.

Machias High School has excellent teachers, great AP and honors classes to get you ready for college, and a great small school atmosphere. When I leave here I will be ready to excel in college. Teachers stay after school to help anyone that needs it, SAT prep is also available. We have great sports teams with a high level of success and family atmosphere. Everyone knows everyone and helps one another. There is nothing I would change about my 4 years here. I love my teachers, teams, and the school in general.

It's not that bad, but it does have a lot of room for improvement. Some of the teachers don't do their jobs completely and don't see to it that students are fully equipped with the knowledge they're going to need for college. The new principle is doing the school a lot of good though as far as getting the school to be more technologically equipped.

I'm not sure why the other reviewer was so negative. The school's SAT scores are on the rise, they address bullying and are not afraid to discipline students, the teachers and staff are helpful and caring. The school understands that all students learn differently, at different paces, and in differe...

As evidenced by test scores, the town's culture and it's position as a "bottom 10 percent" school this is one of the worst schools in the state, a state that routinely has among the worst SAT scores no less.
