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.

this school is by the worst ever and the students like to bully other people but the teachers won't do anything about it
4.0 Senior

Over all as a school it's a god place to learn. Lots of teachers are so sweet and some are so nice to others. I created so many relationships with people. It has its faults with the way it solves things but it's a good place.

Working at memorial high school is nothing but a true pleasure. The faculty/staff is more like a family than a body of colleagues.
