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 enjoyed my experience at Morristown high school it was easy to follow along with the material most of the time because most of my teachers were really good at explaining and teaching in a way that would leave us understanding the material instead of leaving us to figure it out on our own the food is relatively good it's definitely not anything amazing but its got a decent taste resources are plentiful i am able to schedule meetings with my counselor at any time and have a large quantity of teachers who are all open and offering to help

I have some awesome memories from when I attended Morristown High School. The teachers, staff and students are really great. The four years that I was there I had the best time of my life. Unfortunately my sophomore year got cut short due to COVID, but other than that I had an amazing experience as a student there.

What I love about Morristown High School is the big sense of connection between everyone here and the opportunities that it offers. I would like to see the school meal system offer more healthy and nutritious meals though. But aside from that it has been a wonderful experience so far

This is a great school. Don't listen to the 2/10 equity ranking or whatever. It's only like that because all the nearby schools are 100% white. If you look we are actually above average for New Jersey. We are always ranked number 1 in the county for math, science, etc. In fact, we often beat out the...

I absolutely loved my time at MHS (class of 2015). I learned a lot and was able to take enough AP classes that I started college with 30 credits completed. This allowed me to skip introductory college courses in english, calculus, and biology, and I felt my education at MHS fully prepared me to jump...

From an academic standpoint just your average school in NJ, most kids go to Rutgers and a lot go to 2 year schools. The bullying is the real problem here, not enough individual attention for students.
