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.

My experience at Moses lake high school was half regular and half different. My first two years of high school were affected by Covid. While my last two years were Covid free. The best parts of Moses lake high school are the clubs, sports, and activities we had. The worst part of Moses lake high school was probably the college readiness that we lacked. Something that I would like to see change is that we get more opportunities to understand what options we have after high school.

I had a good time going there for all 4 years of high school. Since it's a small community, it feels like we all know each other, and it's a friendly atmosphere!

This school has many oppertunities but the teaching staff is a mixed bag. Moreover, the consoling was mediocre and wouldn't provide many students with propper advice. When I went there I was a straight A student but I was never told about AP programs until my last year and was told not to take them despite the fact I had a 4.0 grade point average at the time. If only the staff we're better, or at least cared about their jobs, I think many students would have done better in school.

The school board has no desire to build the second high school that voters approved bond funding for by a super majority in 2017. I'm praying that we can move t...

In all honesty, it can sometimes be a fun place, but formally, it's an absolute disaster. The fact there are police cars outside every single day, too many students and stuffy halls, students always cutting class and drug abuse happening at the school itself, it clearly doesn't sound like paradise....
