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.

Overall the school is great, everyone for the most part gets along. I would like to have club time during school back, it's nice to be able to decompress instead of working constantly.

I really enjoyed my time at MPHS. I enjoy the staff, students, and community. I love the small-town environment and knowing everyone. The teachers are amazing, I couldn't ask for a better school or faculty to guide my future.

The head administration of this school is aggressive and goes out of their way to cause issues for students with disabilities and repeatedly aggress these students and try to force them to try and do things that directly flair and increase their disabled students impairment.

As a former student, there is nothing about this school I would change. It was a great experience with high standards and a passion for their community! I would not put my kids in any other school!
