I believe that Mclean County High School has great, hardworking staff and teachers who truly want to improve students' lives. I believe they have adequately prepared me for college and taught me valuable skills for work and everyday life. That being said, the facilities are not the greatest and I think some curriculums probably need improvement. Overall a decent school.
