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.

The best part about attending muhlenberg would have to be it's diversity and teachers I actually don't dread the thought of going into math class or social studies my teachers do a great job at engaging with students and are very reliable when it comes to getting you where you need to be I appreciate my teachers,my least favorite part would have to be waking up for school I don't have any complaints or concerns they do they're job and keep a good balance of sports and activities to stay in touch with it's community and kids

I think Muhlenberg High School is pretty chill. I don't have any fuss just that I am STRESSSING but that's my fault although I would like for administrators to care more about students

I am all about Muhlenberg schools. I have a Special Ed child and a Honor Student in the district and they have been amazing. Not only have my kids gotten a top notch education but the schools have extended themselves to help families in need, mine included.
