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.

I graduated from Mckeesport Area Senior High School in June 2020. Throughout my senior year, I had a lot of trouble with certain classes due to COVID-19. My teachers and counselors were able to work with me throughout those troubled times.

You can get something out of it if you really want to. Most of the teachers make an effort if they see that you do. Other students not caring about their education really does drag everyone else down however. Also, they spend way too much on the football team.
