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.

The administration is lacking, and they tend to emphasize dress codes above all else in order to keep students in line. However, they do have a very strong STEM community, with some teachers who are willing to help students every step of the way as they try to achieve their high school goals. I would love to see more resource fairs and ways of the administration reaching out to students rather than having them find resources necessary for their college applications.

Monroe Township High School is a school in the Monroe Township School District. The class sizes continue to grow, and so it's at times difficult to get the classes you want due to strong popular demand for certain classes, otherwise the school good.

MTHS is a good public high school with a strong academic reputation, dedicated educators, and a lot of opportunities — but it still has room to grow when it comes to student support and inclusivity.
