I loved all the retreats and extracurricular activities that McNicholas provided, especially in my Junior and Senior years. On top of that, the faculty is always personable and challenging, prompting me to try my best in class. AP classes offer a strong challenge, and the faculty is always willing to help if needed. Overall, McNicholas offers a fun environment and enjoyable experience.

Could have better administrators. People in charge are not very good at their job. Some good teachers that are helpful but for the most post the teachers are below average.

The school has a broken college essay prep program, with bad timing, poor support and, an extremely lackluster counseling department. The "we have always...

I had a 2020 grad and McNicholas was a great experience. He is now at UC and received a few scholarships due to his excellent education at McNicholas. I currently have another child who will graduate from McNicholas in 2025. He loves it! Both of my children played many sports and made friendships qu...
