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 honestly have nothing bad to say; I love my school but do feel like it does need a bit of improvement. I'm currently class president for the class of 2026, and I'm working on making the school building have a bit of a shine. My principal is amazing, and the staff is too. Unfortunately, we did lose one of our amazing coaches; he was like a father figure , brother, friend, and counselor. This is our time to step up and carry on his legacy throughout the school.

The best part of my experience at mount Zion is the people I've met. The worst part of my experience is the school spirit. I want to see students get involved more and actually support the school.

Mount Zion is an interesting, yet fun school to be at. It's filled with teachers who care about your education and would like to see you succeed. The students could be a bit of a handful but at the end of the day, it's about the environment and education, which exceeds my expectations.

The experience I've noticed at the school, it's an unsafe environment. There is a lot of gang activity, fight and bullying. The only way , I suppose, to get through the high school years there is to pretty much stay to yourself and do your assignments and take advantage of credit recovery if needed....

If I could give a zero I would. I see why Clayton County Schools have such a bad reputation. I am a parent of a recent MZHS graduate. If it wasn't for my love and support, my son would have repeated the 12th grade. I am so disappointed with the virtual dedication my son received. I realize virtual s...

This school is a 1 because the staff don't protect students from bullying or gang related activities and some teacher teaching skills are horrible for them to have a degree. The well-being of the students are not their first priority
