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 best parts of going to Melvindale High School is the people you interact with since it's a diverse school. My worst part of going to Melvindale High school has to be the favoritism in sports. I would like to see a change in the way they teach students by being more hands on.

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

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...
