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 enjoyed that there wasn't a large amount of students; my graduating class was 160. This made us easier for one-on-one time with the teachers. I enjoyed the lunch options and felt that I was receiving a nutritious meal each and every day. I would like to see some change, though. What I think needs to change is how easy it is for students to get what they do not actually deserve. Students that cheat and share answers via social media are the ones that are in the top 10%. They are the "smartest" according to their test grades, but if they were asked the same question the next day, they would be clueless.

Mount Pleasant Area High School taught me the curriculum I needed for college, but also more about myself. My educators put me in the best spot to succeed by always putting forth their best attitude in the classroom. I got to meet and make friends that will stay in my life forever and memories that will never die. Mount Pleasant Area High School has prepared me for the next step in life, and helped me feel more comfortable in preparing for my future.

Teachers here are great. If you are willing to put in the work and pay attention to the teacher you can get a great education from the teaching staff. The teachers are very consistent with their grading and usually communicate well with their students. If students need help they are more than willing to help their student understand. Teachers have been more involved with technology over the past few years.
