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.

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 is known for being pretty diverse culturally, and a lot of students mention the school spirit and improved facilities after the move to the new building. Academically, it performs around or slightly below the Michigan state average in testing, but its graduation rate is solid at about 84%
