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.

I had a great experience at MSD. Thy offer numerous opportunities and I am so grateful to be a part of it. They let me excel and show my true potential. I would recommend MSD to any student and I am so glad I was able to go here. I was a port of the DECA chapter and JROTC and did great things.

Going from being a student at MSD to an education major gave me a lot of insight into how the school properly served me as a student and how it didn't. This school is very intensely focused on standards and maintaining a positive look to the school district and to websites like this. Realize that as...
