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.

Overall, Macomb High School is a great school. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved, whether that is through extracurricular activities or sports. There are few things that can improve, like the center connections between the school, teachers, parents, and students. However, they are working on it. I can see this school preparing their students for the better.

I moved there for the last semester of my Senior year, not really knowing what to expect in a small town school. The academics are okay they're not great, and there wasn't that many clubs to be honest. I didn't really expect much especially because the Senior class was a good 250 tops. But overall it wasn't bad school the teachers and staff were all supportive. But there wasn't much scholarship options and now I'm doing a semester online, because my car broke down.
