6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been in this school system for 9 years with children at every grade level throughout the district. This has definitely become "Home" for our family. In our experience, the teacher involvement and care for the children Far Exceeds the call of duty at every grade level. Even as the principals changed hands within this school, the integrity and standards of the school were never compromised. Even as we prepare to leave this area, we are looking for schools that have nothing less than the standards of "Home." Thank You MES for Some wonderful childhood memories for my kids!Parent Review13y ago - Massac County High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt's no wonder the school is bad. They insist on keeping that math teacher that was in trouble. He's a horrible role model on the diamond, too.Parent Review13y ago
