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.

It's been a good 3 years so far and I have one more to go. There dress code is strict, like you can't wear crocs, but overall it's an amazing school especially the diversity of this place.

Schools do a great job of protecting and keeping students safe, but that is not enough to manage individuals who are not mature enough. Also, counselors have at times not taken students' wishes and requests seriously.

I was rarely on the actual campus for academics due to me being apart of the Early College Program. However, I was apart of the drill team on Memorial's campus. I would rate my experience a 8/10. The pep rallies and football games were always cheerful and uplifting.
