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.

My experience at McNary High School has been pretty good, but I wish we had a more diverse AP selection. The worst part of my experience was freshman year when we all had to sit outside it the rain for hours because someone tried to dispose of the weed in they boys bathroom and it caught on fire. The best part of my experience was senior night this year for Cross Country, my coach really just went all out for us it was so nice.

McNary high school, like all high schools has it's ups and downs. McNary likes to make sure that students feel connected, and motivated to stay and excel in school. The best part about McNary is the diversity and the acceptance that you get when you are at McNary, we have an amazing community, and we welcome people with open arms. McNary is very welcoming to all cultures, and helps people who don't feel welcomed, or like outcasts.

I am currently a student at McNary, and I've got to say, while it isn't the greatest school out there, it gets the job done. Students have so many great opportunities to pursue whatever dream they have, while learning the required academic material. The music/theater/fine arts department is absolute...

I have gone to salem/keizer public schools my whole education. I liked most of my teachers at Mc Nary and most of the schools polices. I have attention deficit disorder which the school some how failed to reconize for all my school years even though my doctor has reconized this for six years or so....
