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.

Mount Dora High School is a very involved school, it's very safe, and has many different clubs and activities for students to enjoy and get involved. The help for college readiness is good but I wish it was a little more hands on and a one on one with the guidance counselors.
