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 at Maynard High School was an overall positive one. It allows for a lot of opportunities that many other high schools do not have. For example, I took advantage of the WAVM radio station throughout high school and found my passion for the communications field, which I likely would not have discovered if I was at a high school without a substantial radio and TV program.

Overall with the teachers it was a good experience, a lot of the teachers I had were very caring and had a good teaching style. They were also always happy to stay for extra help with me. But the school itself likes to hold information back from students so we don't know what's going on, which I did not like.

Interested students can participate in every aspect of school life; several varsity sports teams have "no cuts" and there are a wide variety of clubs (academic, community service, foreign language, etc...

The education and just overall say the school is structured is the reason I was able to go on to college and graduate from an AACSB business school and get a job.
