Overall I think that the school could do better in a number of ways. Some of these include better resources, better teachers, and treating the students like adults. For me high school is decent, I take most of my classes online and they're dual credit so I feel ready for college. Some of the other students don't though so they're not as challenged because our teachers tend to not be the best.

Overall, my experience at Mackay Jr/sr high school has been alright. There is a desperate need for better teaching and resources. For the past few years, I have mostly been taking online dual credit classes to make up for the lack of good teaching and the lack of options when it comes to classes. I would say that the only good things about this school is it agriculture program, if your interested in that, and some of its sports programs.

I love how there is minimal drama, everyone is very close. The teachers are very helpful to the students whenever they are in need of help with anything.
