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.

The teachers there are so so so caring, that being said academic preperation is not top notch. Our standardized test scores generally aren't very good, as we aren't taught to the same level as other schools are. No ACT prep programs. There are though, many AP classes you can take. You're also able to take classes at our local community college.

Overall a very good school teachers are friendly and helpful. Large school so it takes a little bit to find your way around first getting there. Staff is helpful.

Big, but not too big. Not much cultural diversity. Coaches are good for some sports, but not in others. Not treated the same.

Instead, the school strives for skewed growth with the number of AP classes it provides. While this increases the difficulty of classes at MHS, by no...

I graduated from Muscatine High School with a high cumulative GPA. I took many classes at Muscatine Community College through the guidance of counselor Karey Hawkins, she is wonderful.
