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.

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.

Amazing people overall, Mayfield is full of diversity and a strong culture and embraces it a lot. They are very big on academics and have a serious stride for sports and athleticism. The teachers are top-tier and they also want to help you mentally and physically prepare for the next step unlike most teachers that you see this day and age.
