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.

Menchville high is a wonderful school filled with teachers and staff who really care about their students and the future success both in and outside of the classroom. Unfortunately, every year seems to yield a new controversy that tarnishes the schools reputation. There is occasional violence within the school, but I don't feel threatened by it, as it is usually a dispute between students then quickly shut down by security. On a positive note, MHS has the best school spirit in NNPS and more students than not love to be apart of the Monarch Pride.
