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.

I think that this school could benefit from restructuring their resources a bit. They have certain resources, like their wellness center and other things, that I think can be improved to actually help their students, instead of making their situations worse.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School has been a big part of my growth. The history teachers I had were some of the most involved and welcoming despite a bad grade or two, I'll always be thankful for how much they cared. My English teachers were interactive and easy to talk to, and science and math were tough for me, but the teachers really helped make things easier. Clubs were one of the best parts everyone was kind, and BSU especially created a space for Black students to feel seen in a mostly white school.

So far so good as a sophomore. My son has done well socially and his grades are great despite the course load seemingly is a lot. The teachers and Admin have always been receptive when I need them.

Going from being a student at MSD to an education major gave me a lot of insight into how the school properly served me as a student and how it didn't. This school is very intensely focused on standards and maintaining a positive look to the school district and to websites like this. Realize that as...
