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.

This school is perfect for students who want to start their college education early. Many teenagers also want to experience high school activities such as clubs and sports which is not what this school is about. MCHS is more academic focused. I am very greatful to have been chosen to attend this school due to the tons of opportunities that have been provided to us. We all have been able to advance greatly and have amazing academic achievements.

The best parts of my experience revolve around the friendships I've made and the academic preparation they have for students. You get the ability to take courses that will help you in your education after high school. However, I would like to see change in the activities they have. Academically, it would be better for the students to have a music program that they can follow throughout their years as a course.

An opportunity to flourish your skills and obtain new experiences. Great programs, clubs, and classes. Dual-enrollment program that allows an opportunity for an AA degree and honors program.
