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.

Although the Mott performing arts program's performance quality is phenomenal, they don't get enough funding, especially for drama/theatre. The compassionate teaching staff is great but some of them cannot disclude their opinions from their work. I am satisfied with going to Mott rather than the other schools in the area, and the school's social hierarchy is decently nonexistent, people are rarely discluded.

Me personally I had an amazing time, I know a lot of other people I graduated with would say otherwise but I always had a positive attitude going towards my education and my teachers, so I never really had any problems with them. I involved myself in the classroom and with school functions which is all high school teachers want to see you do is to start learning how to put yourself out there and love & respect the community around you while you do it.

Honestly, the people there made the school miserable. the teachers, for the most part, are pretty good.

Racist comments? Is that a joke? Test scores have dropped at Waterford Mott. There has been a substantial influx of Pontiac students. Where do you get racism in those observations? You want clean and modern? Go to Starbucks. We need to improve test scores at Mott.

The racist comments here are making me sad. My kids attend Mott and it is clean and modern. The teachers and principal are involved, the grounds are kept clean, and the new sporting facilities are excellent. I have never seen anything even resembling a gang member and think some people are letting t...
