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 graduated from Morton High School in 2021. My experience throughout my high school years 9-12th was good. I got to achieved my goals with the help of my teachers and staff. Morton High School is a decent school that showed me how hard things can be if no effort is put in. Although In my opinion the changes that I believed that should be made is to make school more fun and not only pure work. I believe the school spirit should be brought back along with many others activities and clubs to keep its tradition going. Other than that, MHS showed me good education.

My overall experience at Morton High School was okay. The food was definitely not the best but at least we got it for free. Most of the teachers were amazing but there were a few that were not. The teachers overall did help us prepare for life out of high school. I would like for more clubs and activities to be added to Morton High so that students would be able to become more involved.
