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.

This is a very small mountain town school. It's average and there's a lot that could be improved. A good portion of the teachers are competent and Involved. There are several different quality clubs offered as well as sports.

Mount Shasta High school is a very small school for my personal taste, but that hardly affects the rating. The education is fairly standard, however, I can't take all the classes I want to take because they're not offered; particularly AP classes. The school hardly has diversity and the woodshop/engineering teacher is very racist/sexist. I do try to make the best out of my time here. The campus is quite pretty and the technology is mostly up to date. The school-issued Chromebooks are a huge plus.

Mt. Shasta is a community decimated by the economic collapse of 2009. Many families have fled to find work elsehere. Administrators and teachers as well. Enrollment has plummeted. Finances are tight! Gentrification of staff evident!
