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.

MMS is a very diverse school with many cultures and celebrations. Some students don't respect your opinions and talk you down but are very accepting. The food is really good and the teachers are very kind and want you to succeed. The parental envolvment is not very good with not a lot of meetings with parents and delayed emails and bad operation in emergency situations. Overall MMS has great academics and is a great school that needs some improvements

Maplewood Middle is a decent school that I feel, along with the rest of the district, is on the upswing.
