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.

Methuen High School was a big part of my life. Its where I gained a lot of friendships, bonds, memories and so much more. I also played football for 4 years which was the best decision I have ever made. I was a Quarterback which made me much better as an athlete and helped me gain popularity and friendships. Those memories I have done will last me for a lifetime and I will always cherish those memories. I am not going to lie and say it was all sunshine and rainbow's because it was not at all being close to perfect at all. I would always see fights in the hallways, and I would always do my best to avoid any conflict and just get straight to class

The worst part of experience was the food. During lunch, they didn't have good vegetarian options except salads and pizza everyday and none tasted good. The best part of experience was there was so many types of clubs and sports to join. It was diverse and had a variety of things to choose from for extracurricular activities.
