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.

Overall pretty good school. However, it does lack AP classes and academic rigor. I also didn't feel informed anout the college admissions proccess until my Junior year, making me unprepared and unqualified for some of my dream schools. Some safety concerns with the campus environment as well.

Monache High School, as is the case with most high schools, is as good as you make it as a student. There are opportunities to thrive if you seek it out. Overall, I have obtained an excellent education at Monache and value my time there.
