McBride is a great high school for the right student. It is an academically focused high school with club sports. My son enjoyed his time and made great friends from diverse backgrounds.

I had a good experience at Ernest McBride High School due to the friendships I made and the opportunities available to me. Every high school has its problems and the main one I encountered was that some teachers do not teach/ prepare students well and many struggle to develop academically because of that. However the teachers that are good are the best I have ever had, so its a 50/50 gamble.
