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.

While the teachings are very simple, this is a school where the faculty will pour their all into helping you graduate and get the education you need to succeed.

MASE is a great school. MASE pushes students to be their best and achieve in every subject. You will walk out of MASE being a successful scholar stepping into college. MASE not only as stem programs but they have programs that would give you certificates in many majors at a young age.

My experience about this school was that it was fun my 9th grade year until we got into quarantine. We had a fun principle, fun school dances, and even had food trucks come every Friday. It was nice while it lasted, until we came back to school and our principle had left to go reach his goals and we had a new principle. He is cool and all but most of the time he is strict. It was nice that he came but it's like last year we didn't have a lot of activities.

If I had to describe this school it would be one word "OPPORTUNITY". They inspire their students in fields you wouldn't think possible in this society and day and age. Great Job!

As an avid supporter of Memphis public schools, let me state for a fact that MASE has just as many behavioral problems, if not more, for a school of its size. In addition, the administration of this school has a history of adopting a "smile-to-your-face/stab-you-in-the-back" attitude toward its facu...

It is time for an overhaul at this school. New ACTIVE leadership, better curriculum, better management of what few funds they do have access to. Much like the majority of the school system in Memphis, the old traditional ways don't work anymore and narrow minded pundits insist on focusing on test-ta...
