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.

Myrtle Grove Middle School was full of caring teachers and a nice blend of kids. Prepared kids for High School academically. Is improving their sports programs to be more competitive & prepare athletes for high school teams.
