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 would say some of the best parts of MHS is the diversity. You never find 2 people who are the same. Theres always people of different colors around and people of different backgrounds. its one of our best qualities.

The best part about my school is the fun class that you're able to take like Forensics,Anatomy,Ceramics and so much other fun class. The bad parts were probably the fights that go down or the fire alarms always being pulled for fun.
