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.

The staff at Massac County High School work hard to accommodate their students. While there might not be a wide variety of classes offered, especially in the STEM category, the classes offered provide a well-rounded education in that subject. The school encourages unification in the student body and helps to create a welcoming atmosphere for newcomers. I would enjoy seeing a wider catalog of available classes in the future.

My high school experience was fun, and I am glad that I attended Massac County High School. While some may argue changes are good, I wouldn't change anything about the school from my experience there.

It's no wonder the school is bad. They insist on keeping that math teacher that was in trouble. He's a horrible role model on the diamond, too.
