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.

I enjoyed my time at Maize South High School. It was one of the best schools I attended, especially since I moved around a lot in high school. That being said, there were some hiccups here and there because not every school is perfect. The staff and faculty there at Maize South High School made me feel welcome and prepared to start school even if I was starting a little later than most.

I've made great connections with students as well as teachers. My school has given me the opportunity to take college level classes and earn college credit for those classes. My school also has given me the opportunity to take AP exams to further earn college credit in that respected class. I feel my teachers support me, push me to be better, and educate me to their best ability.

Extremely poor. If I didn’t have the opportunity to transfer to MHS, I would have never made it through high school.

My school is MSHS and i am a freshman there this year. I went to MSES and MSMS. You can not find another school as great as these schools! There are a lot of extra activities! The high school already feels like family and I cannot wait to see what the years to come bring me.
