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.

My overall experience at mast was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to surround me and help me grow as a person and as a student. I feel like mast has really prepared me for the next steps in my life and had helped me make friends that I will know and love for a life time.

my experience at Mast Community Charter was good, everyone is nice towards each other and coming in for high school while everyone already knew each other was a little scary at first, but everyone is so down to earth and made me fit in right away. the teachers were so easy to talk to and always helped if you were struggling in their class.
