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.

Munster High School has a lot of amazing teachers who have helped me in more ways than my education. However, it's not a perfect school just like every other. Munster does well to provide resources and opportunities for students.

Munster High School was an amazing experience. I have been challenged beyond my years. I also made very good friends. They also provided so much help to get ready for graduation and college. I am so grateful for the opportunity to attend this school. I have learned so much and I improved in my skills since the beginning of freshman year

After extensive research on Northwest Indiana area schools, we decided higher housing prices and taxes were well worth being in this school district. Amazing education and athletics programs paired with caring teachers/staff. If you want an outstanding public school look no further than Munster.
