My experience has definitely been positive. The school does a good job of providing opportunities and preparing everyone for college. Our academics are top notch and our sports are successful.

Overall Morton High School has done a decent job providing me with a good education, good resources, and personable teachers. While the school does lack some diversity, it also lacks in equal gender support for the sports team . This can be seen as really discouraging for female athletes who work just has hard as their male counterparts.

My experience with Morton High School for the past 4 years has had lots of positives but there is still negatives. Morton High School gives every student plenty of resources and everything academic is good. We're provided with a safe environment physically but not always mentally. The school culture overall I don't think is the best due to certain students and ways things are handled by the administration. I would like to see a culture change to be more positive in Morton but other than that the high school can prepare you for future academics.

We are very happy we moved into this district in 2010. The teachers expect the children to perform at a high level which will benefit them in the future.

This school has very devoted teachers. The administration tries to accommodate the most ambitious needs of students in terms of curriculum and scheduling. To bad that school doesn't have a pool and more tennis courts.
