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.

Muskegon High School was my favorite place to be from 9th grade all the way to 12th grade. Although it was not a beautiful school to look at the people there were amazing. The teachers were all fantastic and the staff were all very involved in the student's life. I would not be who I am today if I did not attend Muskegon high school.

Overall my experience at Muskegon High School was decent. It was not the best learning environment and I could say the academic lessons could be better. I feel like I was very unprepared my first year of college. Muskegon High barley worked with us on SAT throughout the years and other important things. The staff were okay, but not very friendly. I would have loved to go to another school in the Muskegon area for a better learning environment.

While being a student at Muskegon High School my experience was amazing. The teachers help you learn and understand what you're being taught, but they also care about your personal life, mental health, and wellness. The school is just great everyone plays a part in being great at Muskegon High.
