I loved my experience here, I loved the friends I made, and the teacher connections I made. The teachers here are caring, supportive, and funny, you can consider them your best friends. The academics here are okay, as the school isn't the biggest it is hard to add specific classes but I believe there is a good variety.

Within Canon Mac there are a lot of great opportunities and classes which other high schools do not provide. However, there are some issues with staffing and outdated amenities. Overall it's a fine public school that provides a well rounded education given a couple typical public high school defaults.

Well below average. This is an environment that harbours hatred and polarizes children's thoughts. They learn to stop thinking critically and take information at face value, regardless of the source. Unlike what high school is designed to do, Canon-McMillan High School actually makes its students le...
