This school is very unorganized in when it comes to advising students for college. There is only one advisor in this school who seems to always be busy. The staff in the office was very rude and unprofessional. They do not emphasize educational opportunities whatsoever.

As a student attending McClintock High School, it has been overall an okay experience. I work hard in my classes, I have a great group of friends, and my teachers are helpful. However, there are some flaws like lazy teaching, disrespectful faculty, and unhelpful counseling.

McClintock High School is a school that I'm finding to really like. On the first day of freshman year I was completely lost because the campus was a big jump from middle school. I was hot, sweaty, and I was lost. I had a map in my hand which made no sense to me. One of the security guards came to me on the golf cart and knew I was lost. He was super nice about it and he saved me from being late on the first day. Over the next few days I could see things like this happening all the time to me. Most people are really welcoming. Something that I think could be better would be "The Charger Way". It's this silly thing the school has to follow. It's basically like making sure everyone is cool at school. Every time teachers bring it up, the whole classroom cracks up. I honestly really love this school and talking about my experiences makes me light up inside. :)

Most of the teachers are amazing. However, Molly Sadler in the administration is tearing the school to the ground. Her attitude towards students and parents is disgusting. Once she has a single encounter with a student she goes out of her way to find reasons to pull them out of class to discipline t...

The teachers are great and seem to really care. However, the administration is lost as to how to run a school. I have been in school administration for 30 years. I have never seen a school so poorly run. I would like to know who they chose this principal. I would have never hired this one. As a pare...

I don't recommend this school because the security yell at students all the timeand the teachers be stressful and strict. The teachers don't care if you've learned more knowledge because of their subject. They just want completed homework.

Advice: Do not enroll your child(ren) at MClintock High School. They have so many petty barriers through out their "school" system and department staff. This public school may meet state requirements, but definitely not by teaching and accommodating familes. No tutors available on campus. Teachers h...
