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.

I'm my experience, my school tries the best it can to be inclusive but sometimes doesn't do so well in the listening portion of inclusion. I have reported many scary or life threatening experiences to my school administrators and often the people who caused these experiences get a slap on the wrist. Essentially, they try their best at what they believe to be inclusive but don't take genuine concerns into account.

McBride High School is overall a great school the Health and Medical pathway has really opened my eyes to the amount of careers in the medical field there are. The school does a lot of activities and the teachers are very supportive and are always welcome to helping students.
