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 at Metea was largely positive. The transition from middle school to high school was smooth as I had plenty of friends and teachers to help me with my journey. The school did a phenomenal job with its music program. I played in the band as a tuba player. The school lived up to its academic reputation employing excellent teachers. The sports teams were average or less than average in skill. The food at the school was average to below average.
