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.

I'd give it zero if I could like this school is horrible. Like you get zero mental help like and you got to wake up mad early to be at some dumb school at 7:30am not even half the teachers come that early. Y'all need help

Motivation HS is a very small high school of 225 students. The teachers are considerate, friendly and challenging. The building itself isn't the best, although recently rennovated, the school is very small. The building is shared with KIPP preparatory charter school, so we only get one floor to our self. The school is also not well equipped and there are not many activities and resources that are available to the students.
