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.

Pretty average when it comes to most things. Emphasis on sports over arts, though the football team is good. Offers a wide range of courses, lots of APs and Honors, and many extracurriculars. Wide range of clubs, many student-driven and created by students. Not much effort to repair some dilapidated bathrooms, which says something about the financial status. No major experiences of bullying or fights I've witnessed. Food isn't the best, but at least I can get it free.

Solid academics, sports programs and very good music and drama program. My children participated on sports teams, in the drama club and in other clubs e.g. BIPOC, GSA, writing, music appreciation, and participated in band, chorus and a capella.

It's a pretty good school given that the budget gets frozen every year and there continue to be teacher cuts. The guidance department is fantastic. The school seems worse than it is because there's a private school in the town over. There's a pretty good variety of clubs, but the athletic facilities are lacking because of funds. Additionally, not all the teachers are great.

We're taking our children out of the ORR school system as soon as financing comes through for a private school in Dartmouth &/or Plymouth. Mattapoisett is not what it's lauded to be - beware. On top of the myriad issues relating to general apathy, there's no industrial Art's program. Wood working an...

Class sizes vary on the level of the class, but overall my average class size was between 18-20. Most students continue on to achieve degrees in higher education, and I believe that's due to the competency and support of all teachers, parents, coaches and community members. I highly credit my time a...

This school's class sizes keep rising, despite research supporting smaller class size leads to better education. Class sizes average 28+ students per class, even in science labs. To retain a high rating, teachers will need to be hired to keep a lower student to teacher ratio.

Don't believe the student to teacher ratio of 13/1. My daughter has never had a class of only 13 students, in fact her english class has 32 and there aren't even enough chairs!
