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.

Pretty average high school experience. Generally more focused on athletics rather than academics. Offers advanced classes, you just have to ask about them.

At Mott everyone fits in. This is the what i liked most about this school, there was not clicks and it seemed like everyone got along. What i think could change is the building itself. The bathrooms/classrooms were found to constantly be dirty.

This school district is horrible. We moved to get out of there. Bullying is a HUGE problem. Gangs, drugs, just an awful excuse for a school district. Not just the high school.

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.
