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.

Great school, but COVID made my Freshman and Sophmore years less than desirable. I have enjoyed getting the opportunity to get the true high school experience these last 2 years. Sports have been fun to explore and I am happy that I had the chance to explore different interests over these 4 years. I wouldn't change many things about the school and my experience. I will walk away after graduation satisfied with my high school experience.

I'd had hopes entering Morris Hills, i'd thought it would be like the movies. Only to discover it was more than that. The staff and students here helped make my High school experience the best. Even when I was being bullied my junior year I found help and got the help needed. What I love the most about here, the school is very diverse and everyone cheers everyone on with no judgement. I can say I made many friends that made this place feel like home. The teachers here really are amazing. I don't come from much, but no one here cares what money or clothes you have. Dr. Torriello he made this school fun and safe at the same time. The connection he made with the students here, he even has a cool nickname " Toddy T". An amazing principal. what i would like to see change here is more female sanitary products in the girls bathroom. I'm a graduating senior with a 3.8 GPA attending Columbia University full ride in the fall. I owe all thanks to this prestigious school for everything.
