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.

Melrose is an excellent school!!! I loved how the teachers make learning fun and interesting by making it easy comparing it to real life. In melrose high school I was able to stay focused on learning without getting bored at all and also i got alot better in test taking! I would like to see a change in the school's aspect though.

When I got to Melrose high school during my 10th grade year I did not want to be there at all. Meanwhile, I started to think to myself i have to make the best out of this being at a school i didn't want to be at became the most enjoyable moments of my high school experiences. Once I Join JR. R.O.T.C. I learn a lot about myself , and how to become a leader and lead a team.

Melrose High School prepared me to be a productive and well-rounded citizen for the rest of my life. I will never, ever forget Mr. McLemore, who taught music, led the marching band, and equipped me with skills and experiences that have shaped my life. Twenty years later, I know hold two doctorates, have served in the military as an officer, and now, I am an educator abroad. Melrose reinforced pride and self-discipline and I am eternally grateful.
