Founding member and Secretary of the Mystic Valley Board of Trustees Thomas E. Brennan Esq. said that “the success of our school is due largely to the dedicated teachers and staff at Mystic Valley. Without their day to day efforts the school would not have been able to achieve such remarkable success. The Board of Trustees can only set the agenda and goals it is the teachers and staff who are charged with insuring that these goals are met.

The Newsweek top ranking is just the latest in a series of outstanding rankings from national news organizations. U.S. News & World Report has ranked Mystic Valley as a top high school in America three times in the last five years. Newsweek has ranked the school among the top 1% of schools in the country for four years in a row and last year the Washington Post also ranked Mystic Valley as one of the top high schools in America.
