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. My teachers were all very supporting and I found that I excelled throughout the classroom. The only bad part I can remember isn't because of the school itself but because I was injured and couldn't participate in my sport. The athletics was definitely my favorite part because the relationships I made are some that I believe will last a lifetime. I also found success in many championship environments. I have learned many lessons that apply to not just sports but any part of life. I would like to see the school spirit change a bit. I feel like our school lacks school spirit. Our school needs to find better ways to get students involved by getting their opinion on what the spirit days should be so that they actually participate.

I only started going to Pittsford Mendon High School in 11th grade but for the time that I am there, I always enjoy it. The teachers and staff are kind and are there for you when you need help, which applies both academically and if you just need to vent out to a trusted adult about something that is going on in your life. The amount of students also provides a chance to develop a sense of community and make a circle of trust.

The academics were high level and I left feeling prepared for college academics. However, the administration was god awful and incompetent.
