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 experience at Maurice J. McDonough High School would have to be one of the best high school experiences I have had, especially the Performing Arts Departments as they make sure to allow the students to express themselves to the best of their abilities and makes sure the environment is safe. Though I would like to see more of a change in the people sort of running the school- just listening to the kids and whats best for them instead of putting things in an adult perspective all the time.

My experience at Maurice J. Mcdonough highschool has been a interesting one that has also prepared me for my future. It was a struggle learning there as there's little support from the staff. A change that would make a difference would be the hygiene of the school just overall it could be cleaner.

I would say this is a good school, but it lacks in certain areas. Teachers are unsatisfied with the school and environment. Student actions make it a bore to want to attend this school.

The best part is not just seeing our daughter compete in sports, but also to see have opportunities that we never had while atte...
