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.

Attending Great Mills High School Has prepared me to excel in many areas. I have chosen to pursue a career in the field of biology because I plan providing affordable healthcare service for underprivileged children in Saint Mary's County. Our school Is surrounded with some children that might be less fortunate than others and i feel this is perfect way to give back to the very community I grew up in. Great Mills help me to explore my many loves of biology by having a chance to dissect a sheep's brain has made me realize i want to learn all the different aspects of the human anatomy. Great Mills has also taught me how to learn in unprecedented times when we were first was stricken with the pandemic of COVID.

Additional counselors would be a step in the right direction to raise the standard and outcomes for boys. Teaching culturally specific history before slavery will serve you well.
