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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Dr. Susan S. McKinney is a good high school which gives the students an oppurtunity to learn in-depth about fine arts. Despite the fact that this is true, the schools setting is not always the best, and that can pose as a challenge to the students.

McKinney Is a performing arts school that helped me get out my shell through vocal and performances. The teachers and staff that worked there truly cared about the students and went above and beyond. The only thing I wished was different was having to worry about uniform.

This school is terrible the teachers do not care about their students and don't care if you pass or fail and it's drug and gang infested people do whatever they want in this school.

My list is quite small, five names, maximum. She loved her students unconditionally and her school was always her f...

The administration is extremely difficult to deal with from a parent/family standpoint as well as what o...
As a former teacher at this school , I must agree with the recent statements. If your child is sent to McKinney, please, please get a transfer the same day! Run don't walk! I've seen many potential scholars not flourish due to the politics of the principal, assistant principal and union. Teachers ne...
