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.

There is a lot of parent involvement, especially for senior year which helps with making lasting memories. There is very little guidance for college, so you just have to make sure you are staying on top of everything and have your parents also check for deadlines. I have had some great teachers, but I don't feel super prepared for college. There have been some updates to athletic facilities, but there is still no air conditioning in the main gym.

Overall C. Milton Wright is a good school. It has many clubs and just ways for students to get involved.

The best part is the teachers. They are all super involved in student life and are all super supportive. The worst parts were the anxiety of not performing up to the standards that I had set up for myself and that my parents had set for me. Some things I would like to see change is the fact that bathroom usage is restricted, for good reason mind, but it can be annoying to deal with.

C. Milton Wright is a great school with experienced teachers. I'm currently a Sophomore in the Engineering Program and it is very challenging, but I'm learning so much and I'm really enjoying the challenge. CMW also offers several AP classes which are also very challenging (as they should be), and I...

As an alumni I feel lucky to have been able to go to such a good high school. Despite a lot of reviews written here, which are in response to a former student’s slanderous youtube video, the staff here really care about the students. An overwhelming majority of students at this school have a great e...
