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.

As far as academic classes go, Morgantown High has an amazing science and math program, as well as many options for literature and history driven students. The only negative I would have to comment on would be some of the school's behavioral issues (which you can find anywhere, at any school) but those are usually handled relatively well :).

As a someone who's mother went to this school and who's son is now going to this school, it gives me great pride to see how much the school has grown yet stayed the same. The sense of knowing my son is growing up with the same traditions my mom and I did is amazing. We take great pride in being MOHIGANS!!

Morgantown High School is an incredibly diverse school, both in terms of socio-economic status and in ethnicity. This makes for a diverse culture where you can get many perspectives in the classroom. The teachers are incredibly dedicated to their students and the learning experience and are often overqualified in the more advanced classes.

If your child is an average student then they are forgotten. It seems the school only cares about the AP students. They carry the school in regard to test scores. The math teachers my child has had have been horrific. I had to hire tutors. Many teachers never return phone calls or even come to meeti...

My daughter is in 9th grade this year - so far, so good! We have been impressed with the teachers she has, all seem to be very enthusiastic about their subjects. The curriculum is challenging and she has made great strides for 3 years ago when we had to homeschool her because she cold not sit in a c...
