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.

So far my experience at Maize High School has been amazing. I have made so many new friends and have had great teachers. My English Honors teacher is amazing at teaching in many different ways but is also amazing at explaining things if you don't understand it. My math teacher is also an amazing teacher. He is always looking out for his students and also tries his best when it comes to teaching. He has done an amazing job at teaching me and my fellow class mates considering it is his first year here at Maize.

I have been going to Maize High since I was a freshman. Overall all of the classes have been good if you pay attention in class and try to understand the material. There have been some cases where the teacher just doesn't explain anything so it's harder to learn the material. There are so many clubs and sports to choose from so it's a wide option range. The school lunch sucks but it does everywhere. Overall I don't think there needs to be anything that they need to change because I do enjoy going to school there and all the teachers that I have had are super nice and make the class enjoyable.

I have had a great experience at Maize High School. I have been within the district since 2nd grade and have loved majority of my teachers. The people are great. I participated in sports and loved my experience and coaches. Our principal is one of the best and was always a huge supporter of my volleyball team. I would not choose to go anywhere else to do it over again.

Great school, I graduated class of 2010. The people on here who are whinning about drug problems and bad administration are most likely the parents of kids on drugs and bad behaved kids. Great school!!! The 4x4 non rotation schedule is awesome and gives lots of time for students and teachers to inte...

There is nothing bad to say about mhs, I am a grad of the class of 2014. I really liked mhs' new principle: Chris Botts. He is always there for the students and is very supportive. I have never found a teacher that wasn't exelent and helpful. I was formerly a student of maize south (which is a terri...

This school is amazing. The unique 4x4 non-rotating block isn't difficult to deal with at all. This school isn't always concerned about being the best (and putting stress on their students to keep a good image) like some Kansas City area schools. MHS wants to see students succeed at their own will-...
