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.

Mason middle school has a staff that cares about the students and for their well being. Every teacher at this school has their heart in passion in teaching and for their students. The extracurricular activities help to develop the students into intelligent and well rounded along with helping them learn how to work together. The school is diverse but that is what makes it such a great environment. With the diversity within the school students are found to be more accepting and open to people who differ from them.
