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, I've had a good experience with the school, the teachers are great, leading students to areas that fit them the best. The best part is the teaching staff, the worst part is the lack of diverse classes(not many college classes are offered outside of the core subjects. I would like to see Mount Vernon High School obtain classes ranging from all of the subjects.

Mount Vernon High School is an amazing place to send your kids. It's small enough but also big enough everyone knows everyone, we have an amazing superintendent that knows every single one of his students by name. All the teachers treat the students like their own kids and make sure if you need something you have it. I had an amazing 4 years at this school and I wouldn't trade it for anything!!

It's very open to student imaginations, but I wish they would work harder on something other than sports.
