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 overall with McFarland High School has been good and i have made well memories here throughout all of my school years. From pre-school all the way to graduating high school in this same district, I personally have not had any bad experiences with the teachers, staff, or students.
