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.

My overall experience of Memorial High School is that it was alright it definitely wasn't the best but it wasn't the worse. It felt safe there, no bullying from what I know at least. The teachers there were really lovable and helpful in my opinion that's what makes up for everything else. The teachers all had different personalities and perspectives and gave good views on life. They made the year better.

Memorial Highschool has become a great experience throughout the years. I'm now a senior and cherish every year I had in this highschool. I can say without being bias that I had good classes as well as supportive teachers and staffs. I will definitely leave highschool with good memories. One thing I would definitely like to see change for future high schoolers would be to fix the ac once and for all.

I am grateful to this school, it has provided me with a lot of resources that have helped me to be at ease with my studies. Not just only the academics but they maintain in good conditions the facilities, the food and services. I have not just learned about many things but also got to know many types of people with diverse ethnicities. I have seen that the school offers opportunities for the students to grow by doing what they want so they can prepare for college/real life.

I always loved math and science and Memorial High School offered math and science clubs after scho...

I graduated a senior on 2019, I came from a different country so I started in sophomore year. There's loving and caring staff but if your attitude is to not work hard for the things you want then probably this isn't the school for you. Lots of sports and I never felt scared of the area around. I hav...
