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.

Overall, my time at Mid-Carolina has been good. I've always been able to get a good education and be able to have help when needed. There are a lot of ways the students are able to participate and show their school spirit. I would like to see more students participate but other than that I have no complaints about Mid-Carolina.
