Niche grades and rankings are calculated using dozens of public data sets and millions of reviews. Niche data scientists and user researchers rigorously analyze data and user opinions to assess the key aspects of K-12 Schools, Colleges, and Places to Live. Every month, millions of students and families use the Niche grades and report cards to find the right school or neighborhood.
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.

Definitely not the best option. Classes you aren't made to attend. Never been at a school where skipping class was done in the HS office. Also so many wierd classes you wouldn't see anywhere else. They have a janitors class. Where students are janitors. Then a class that goes to the river and collects rocks. It is a odd place. Doors are left unlocked at all times by training rooms. Had a really bad bullying issue where a teacher was choked by a student. Student wasn't punished. Adminstation is very poor. Buses on a regular basis get kids to school after school starts. Counseling Is really good. Well not by the actual counselors not sure what they do? Watch TV and gossip. Not sure why they have a TV. haha But room 303 is great fir counseling. Drug class is great as well if you have drug problems they take you to there parks abd give you food to try to get you to stop. I WOULD RECOMMEND OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS

Poor school. Adminstation issues. Favortism on everything. Athletics are just politics. Some coaches aren't even coaches they are uncertified mechanics. security at the school Is awful doors are left unlocked and if the administration makes rules they only stick to them for a few weeks. Central administration is not helpful at all. I feel sorry for the teachers the administration doesn't support them unless they are related to board members
Mcdonald County High School focuses more on athletics more than academics. ROTC, SkillsUSA, FFA, FCCLA, and other organizations aren't recognized in the newspapers, social media, or school announcements as much as the athletes. Plus the principal needs to set aside his parent role and remind his kid...
