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.

Its a good school but the academics could be better , we have good athletics but a lot of the people who further their education struggle because we lacked the things we needed.

I love the school spirit the school has. The teachers are amazing, they often come up with different techniques. I would love to see a change in the lunch routine. Students should all be able to go off campus, whether it be walking or driving to eat somewhere else.

I graduated Spring of 2016 and went on to ASU. Miami is overall a great school for community standards but most of my peers were left behind when it came to college options because they werent preparing most of us. I luckily had a great support network outside of school who helped me get to where I am now. Not every student is that lucky and I wish there were more resources for students who were unsure if they could go to college or even afford it.

I guess he is leaving. And he is a class act about it too. He only has positive things to say about t...

I have to say that hiring Mr. Bueche as the new principal was a great idea. He is trying, against institutionalized apathy and laziness, to make the place into a good school. It is too bad that the teachers union is fighting him tooth and nail. He s doing some good things for kids.

This school desrves more credit than it gets. There are some teachers that really have the students' best interest at heart, but others do not really pay much attention. Some of the programs that are offered now are challenging. Thw new World in Conflict class is a course that focuses on the wars an...
