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.

Monson High School is what I imagine as the "default" nice high school. It is hard to find negatives aside from nitpicks, as the staff, students and classes are all kind and well put together. This is offset by a true lack of shining points outside of faculty and the small selection of students.

A lot of fun clubs and fun teachers, however sometimes it's hard to be heard. Students are bullied sometimes and it's not really handled more just pushed to the side or gently punished. Lots of fun teachers who make you feel wanted though. Especially the biology teacher.

Academically it's very good, but is very small and lacks diversity. It tries to have a lot of school spirit, which is only sometimes appreciated, but there's a lot of "extra" activities, especially seasonal. Experience depends a lot on teachers, and your own effort.

Interesting place that has the priority set on adding another sports team when budget cuts are impacting academics interesting priority. MCAS results, nice, but do they tell the real story, what about the kids that were sent out of district---seems to be a bid gap between the middle school and high...
