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.

As a parent, there are many opportunities to be involved with your children's academics and/or athletics. There is a big emphasis on The American Flag, many different cultures and backgrounds.

My daughter has gone to this school district all her life . She has had challenges every year with bullying. I think they need to work on that issue a little bit more. Whenever something was going on at school she would not want to go and make any excuse to stay home. They need to hold those kids accountable when they do the bullying instead of just sending a letter or contacting the parents. Both parties should have a meeting together so that way both set of parents are aware of the whole situation

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.
