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.

My experience at McCutcheon high school has been a below-average one. A lot of the money is put towards athletic facilities, and teachers are underpaid.

A culture of mediocrity, if you do the bare minimum i.e, turning in assignments on time you will excel. If you go slightly above that, you'll soar. However, there are some fantastic teachers there, and if you take control of your learning experience you'll have lots of fun.

I cannot say enough good things about this school. Out of McC came some of my fondest memories. The facilities, teachers, administrators, athletic departments, and all other aspects of the school are top notch.
