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.

In my experience in Morse High, it was fun and stressing, fun because I get to learn all different kinds of topics that are valuable to my life and stressing because of some of the inappropriate people who may seem to bring harm.

If you find the right crowd, it's a place to be. generally more welcoming than its reputation suggests. some teachers are terrible but many are misunderstood and very passionate. same for the people. they offer psychological support and restorative justice. very forward thinking but needs more work. the lunch ladies are also cool and definitely show that they care for the kids. and expect the unexpected at Morse, Join the right club and you'll end up doing something you never thought you'd ever have the chance to. I have no regrets. good school.
