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 like the school because its a small district and everyone gets along pretty well. There are some minor things that could be fixed such as the way teacher handle their students and how the food is.i believe they don't offer as good of an education as other schools in my area and sports are limited. Overall the school is decent.

We are a small school district, my graduating class has a total of 55 students, but I like that because everybody knows everybody. We are pretty good in our sports, but we lack in clubs, that's one thing I would like to see change. Overall it's not bad, it's what you make of it. Take the good with the bad and do the best you can.

I moved to Monessen last year from a neighboring community and enrolled my three children into the school district. Two of my kids are at the high school. I can't say enough about the support they get there. My kids are so happy.
