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.

I had a great 4 years at Morris Knolls High School. I felt that I really gained the high school experience, and I feel that I am ready for college.

Overall a great school, be prepared for rigorous work and long schedules. While teachers are very understanding, most do not coordinate tests and quizzes with other teachers, meaning that some days can be overwhelming. There are 1.5-hour blocks with 4 classes a day. I would love to see the system of absences (excused vs. unexcused) change because it is extremely difficult and time-consuming to get an absence pardoned even with a valid doctor's note.

Good administration and teachers that provide quality education. Lack of diversity and inclusion lessons.

Morris Knolls is an amazing school to develop into a young adult. The course load can be quite rigorous, but well worth the effort. The teachers that my son had the opportunity learn from are in my opinion "superior." He always felt that there was a good support system. He was involved in all aspect...
