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.

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.

Mcintosh County Academy is not a well-managed school. The school does not value education as much as they should. The high schools' main focus seems to be on football and they seriously need to value education more. The board of education has brought in a new principal and slowly things seem to be changing for the better of the school education system. Hopefully the high school will value education more than football in the next few years.
