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'd like to see the staff change the administrative staff. The teachers do not care if someone is bullied, I do not recommend this school.

Mount Airy High is an excellent school and fully prepared me for college. Most of the teachers were wonderful and the curriculum was thorough. I would definitely recommend this school to others.

Mount Airy High School is a great school to get a high school education. I learned a lot from this place. The teachers were encouraging and I looked up to them a lot as well. The environment made me feel safe and my peers made me feel welcomed. Mount Airy High School is a place to enhance your learning as well as your physical knowledge as well. The sports at this school are phenomenal. I would recommend anyone to go to this district and when I have children they will attend Mount Airy City Schools.
