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.

Mtz is academically the best high school in surrounding counties. I am well prepared for college and all other life opportunities after high school.

I like the way that Mount Zion High School feels like a family. I have grown up with all of the students and know almost everyone by name. School Spirit here is 100%. Everybody loves supporting all the sports teams and clubs. The teachers are really kind and helpful. There is always someone you can talk to. I love Mount Zion.
