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.

My experience with MCHS has been ever changing. Every year not only has there been a new principle/vice principle, but there has been plenty of new rules and regulations. Once I think I have a routine down, I have to amend it to fit to the new orders. However, I am eternally grateful that I was blessed to be able to even have an education. Sometimes I just wish I could have a solid foundation where I go to school.

Marshall is a small county where almost everyone knows everyone. This school has its benefits where I can take college classes to get a head start and be college ready. Although I may not love my school, I can't imagine myself anywhere else.

Didn't not help when I was being bullied. They did not discipline the other student. And one teacher would bully me and and my friends.
