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.

Faculty really care about students, academics are challenging but fair, and when the students come out to support the major sports, its really a good time on the stands.

I wouldn't say my highschool experience was bad but it definitely was lacking in an educational sense. Mt. Ararat was definitely not prepared for online schooling and during that year I had a hard time learning putting me at a disadvantage. However, I will give credit towards Mt Ararat for their amazing teachers. The teachers their truly care about the kids and I was very grateful for the support they gave while attending.

My experience at Mt Ararat was like no other. I've had fantastic teachers and peers, and the administration at the school seems like they really care about their students. I've had personal problems come up in the past, and everyone has been very supportive and done everything they could to help me out, and that's awesome. We recently got a new school, a new track, and just about new everything. It's been pretty sweet, I don't have any complaints. I know a lot of other people don't have a predilection to school like I do, but I find that people are generally happy here. It's a good place.
