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 personally have had an okay experience with Mattoon High School, it is pretty average. There are occasional physical fights, outbursts, etc.

teacher to class size ration was about 1:35. The school is athletic focused and did not offer very many opportunities for academic growth or success. The student body is not very safe to be around and can at times be very confrontational and aggressive.
5.0 Senior
