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.

So far its been pretty fun between being apart of the band and JROTC and adjusting and fitting in has been really easy everyone is very outgoing and helpful and tons of people from different backgrounds wether military different country or nationalities. I think the only thing to make this school better is a few better teachers and for the students to be more respectful and content.

MacArthur High School has such a great environment in sports, academics, staff, and clubs and activities. The best part of my experience there is playing sports. I liked having very competitive teams and making it to state. The counselors always guided me on which classes I needed and which ones I would benefit most from. Teachers always had time after school to help me with my work I didn't understand or if I needed to catch up. I don't really have a bad experience there but I would like to see more changes in the science classes.

MacArthur is a very competitive school in athletics, academics, and any other activities that are participated in. MacArthur has a high reputation that the Highlanders strive to keep up. I love being at MacArthur because of the competition aspect, they always push me to do my best. MacArthur is also very good at keeping a environment that all can feel welcome too.

Mc Arthur High School has diversity with a mix of young and tenured staff that is aggressive and up to date with their sports and academic programs. This aggressive nature to aid the majority of children for scholarships to higher education does not apply due to staff apathy, exceptions exist if the...
