I am a senior at MHS this year and I can speak from experience that it is the best school around. The teachers are so friendly and the music program is top notch. 10/10 for Musselman

My family has moved to this school, district approximately 12 years ago, so we are considered both trans-plants and also native, but how long does one have to live here to consider to be a native? Yes, there is alot of politics going on here, and it helps to have a 'native' last name, and also it seems

The assistant principal,who is in charge of the disciplinary side of things, doesn`t listen to any parent, let alone student concerns, before any situation arises, instead going gung-ho on the rules after a situation arises, so there is alot to be desired in that department. Don`t get me wrong, there are good teachers, --I appreciate them, just wish there were more. Read less

I have been affiliated with Musselman High School for quite some time now. I know the administration and many of the teachers at this wonderful school. I can tell you with no exaggeration that the staff at that school works very hard. The administration is at many of the school events and then some.

I'm not sure who thinks they can stop by any of these dedicated peoples homes at 7:30 or 8:00 am and they will be home. Most days they are working from 6:45 am -10:00 pm. I am very proud of our local high school and their dedication to our students. Our test scores show how well everyone at MHS work. Keep up the good work! Read less

I do not understand the kid that says it is hard to make friends at our school. Almost every new kid that has come out of state or from somewhere else I, and many of my fellow students, have said 'hi' and offered lots of help. I personally love Musselman because for one the teachers are amazingly helpful,

I am a Junior and have lived in the Musselman area my whole life; it's an honor to be an Applemen. Great teachers(they love helping and teaching kids; they barely get paid anything), great people, many clubs to join, and just about every sport you can think of we have a team for, and most of our teams are among some of the most respected and honored teams in West Virginia. We also placed 8th as a band among all other high school bands in the USA. Read less

Musselman High School is definately not the best school around. As a student that moved to West Virginia just before starting high school, Musselman threw me into a confusing mess of schedule confusion and stress without even another student to guide me. The community is so close-knit, it is hard to

The principal often comes across like he doesn't know what he's doing, and some of the teachers seem to be there for the paycheck. Also, they have ridiculous fees for things as simple as a gym locker. The lunch room is set up in rows where students have to wait for a teacher to dismiss them. Musselman needs a lot of improvement before I would recommend the school. Read less

Musselman High School is a good school. First off I would never recommend Martinsburg to anyone! Second... there are gangs and cliques in the schools around here.

This school is safe. One could easily obtain a good education here; however, this school is definitely controlled by local politics. By that I mean if one does not have a certain last name, their chances of fair treatment are very slim. It is very unfortunate and makes this charming school very unattractive.

I attended Musselman High School and choose to keep my children in this school district because this was a wonderful school. Musselman High's overall ratings have drop drastically and the administration of the school has a lot to be desired. Comparing the ratings from 5 years ago to now our children

If they did they would be raising these ratings instead of watching them fall. I have been to the school or called with different concerns and administrators are never available. I guess when I ride by their houses at 7:30-8am I should stop by and let them know that the school day has started. The funds at the school are being spent very carelessly. Manny Arvon needs to take controll of this administration, do your job. Read less

I beleive that Musselman High School is probably the best school for anyone to attend. All the teachers really work well with the students and even stay after school to help those who really need it.

Also, a school is nothing without a principal, and I beleive there is no other man for the job than Mr. Stephens. He works hard to make school not only educational, but entertaining. It allows people to want to learn and to do better at it. This is why I believe our test scores are so high. When we have pep rallies, everyone in the entire school gets really into it. The whole school is filled with spirit, even the faculty. Read less
