GreatSchools Rating
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.

it was a horrid school when I attended about 5 years ago, and from what I hear it hasn't improved much within that time. upper staff has ZERO care for their students. the amount of bullying and sexual harassment that I experienced during my two and a half years there (giving them half a year due to covid and online learning) has forever scared me in ways Im still attempting to heal from. not only did I cry out for help over and over again, but the ONLY reason administration got involved was because my parents threatened legal action. overall I wouldn't recommend this school to ANYONE.

My son is an 8th grade student at Dexter McCarty and he loves school. I apprieciate the accelerated classes in math and language arts that challenge him. He likes all of his teachers, especially Mr. Burton, the band teacher. I know that my son will be ready for High School next year.
