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.

Melvindale High School is an overall decent school. It had its fair share of pros and cons, but all students will feel welcome and safe at this school.

One of the best experiences I've had in this high school are my classmates. I love the environment of everyone getting along and being friendly with each other. My teachers are also very wonderful.

If you want a quality education I strongly advise you to avo...

The alleged racism of which some reviewers write is a ridiculous accusation in my opinion. Every indication that I get from personal and second hand experience is that the color of a student's skin is irrelevant at MHS. Of course, if by the term 'racism' you mean that minorities do not receive speci...
