 As of 2020, the school was last inspected by Education Scotland in 2015, when inspectors found that "Young people learn and achieve well at Monifieth High School ... [although] the pace of learning could be brisker, activities more challenging and young people could be given more responsibility for their learning".In 2004, the school renovated many of its facilities, including the reception area, and constructed new changing rooms, increased singing rooms in the music department, and installed many interactive whiteboards in classrooms.In 2010 pupils vandalised school buildings.
