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.

I love it but they need to stop defunding the arts!!!! The choral program is amazing and they need to stop defunding the program and putting that money into HOPE and Careers classes which are useless

Merritt Island High School has an amazing school spirit, however there is room for improvement. There is a vast diversity of different sport, clubs, and other extracurriculars. In my classes, I feel as though they require a good amount of self-studying for exams. In addition, it is quite difficult to arrange transport due to extracurriculars being before and after school.

Less than 1 star. Teachers are incompetent. Administration is even worseDo not send your kid to this school. Apply for choice schools and maybe you can win the lottery that’s the only way you can get in a good school in Brevard County!

My two sons attended MI High. Both were admitted to UCF on their first attempt. Both graduated UCF with science majors and both are officers in the United States military.

My daughter started 9th grade this year and she absolutely LOVES this school. We moved down here from New Hampshire. MI High School made the move so easy for my daughter. She has met such a nice group of friends with great southern hospitality and she is excelling in school. I can't say enough good...
