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 loved going to Niles McKinley. The teachers were nice and made the classes fun. It would be nice if they can work a little more to help you prepare for college.

Most of the teachers here are very helpful and nice. However, there are a few teachers who do not seem to care if you pass or fail. These seem to be the older teachers who have worked at this school for awhile. The student are alright, but most act like spoiled brats. Overall, this school is not bad compared to others in the district.

First, this high school is quite pretty good but supportive though. When I wanted to work hard, I would be better at it. This High School would change if some students will be more different than the students who goof around. They have all diet soda brands and tea brands without sugar and it isn't good at all. Food is ok but it doesn't have any strong tastes, they're weak tastes. Gym is very good but it's fun. And finally, this school will change to maybe the best.

They really push going to college but a lot of younger folks don’t really know about trades. If you go to TCTC you’re kind of shut out from the school. The...

Niles McKinley is terrible. The teachers don't show much interest and it seems like they are there simply because they are getting paid. I went to Niles for two years before deciding to get home schooled. The school is terrible at controlling things such as bullying, drugs, people even bring alcohol...

I'm very dissappointed that trying to look up a scheduled events date, Homecoming, the Calendar of events has not been updated since last year. Additionally, there is not an email to the school, administration, or school board to direct these questions to.
