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.

While first attending MTS everyone was so welcoming, teachers and students. The teachers took time out of their day, to sit down one on one and learn more about me. The best part about moving to Sheehan my junior year is that I became involved in so many activities that helped build my character and develop real life skills. And then the worst part is.. is that I wished I had met everyone I did so much sooner, with the help of the people i've met along the way really helped shaped and brighten up my highschool career.

My best experience at Mark T. Sheehan High School would be the overall experience of Powderpuff. The culture and excitement surrounding the event is exhilarating. Some of the worse parts of my experience was food.

The school is very nice. But the kids there are very rude and they think that their family has a ton of money and pick on you because you have a disability or can't help a problem with something that you can't fix. The teachers help a lot with teaching kids on what to learn and stuff like that.

There were many extracurricular activities and the campus is lovely. Beyond...
