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.

Me and my childrens experience so far at Mt Vernon have been positive. We've had no issues or concerns. I feel my oldest is graduating ready for college.

I do like the environment a lot. It is a nice school however my issue with it lies in the fact that it is a community school corporation and not so much like a typical school. Since it is funded by the community sometimes classes can be very limited for students or will just disappear within a year or in the middle of taking it depending on if the school deems it appropriate to do so.

Great teachers and excellent academics. Really focused on athletics, STEM, and theater/drama. The only issue is some of the students there are very intolerant towards marginalized groups/people who are different from them, the school could do better in their efforts to keep the school a safe space, but they have slowly gotten better over the years.

Horrible school! Teachers and staff pick on students who need help. Lots of teacher-student relationships have happened, and they try to cover it up and just switch the teacher's positions. (kesha)

The school needs help. They need better food options that are actually edible and also have the teachers consider students work and take into consideration that if a 3 1/2 page essay was due for homework and the student does 5 pages the teacher shouldnt give the student no credit without even review...
