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.

Since the high school is located in a rural southeastern town in Iowa, class sizes are rather small, which allows teachers to accommodate to each individual's specific learning needs.

It was pretty good but I have had issues with some teachers in the past but overall I've had a great experience at this school.

Mount Pleasant is undoubtedly one of the best schools in the area. It is ran by great staff, by teachers who care for their students. I have made many of my friends here, and my academic progress has been great. We recently went one on one with laptops, which is great however they are over-restricted, meaning even students' ability to learn is using laptops is slowed.
