9/20/2021
McDowell high school is a place where favorites are played. Teachers will pick you if they know your parents over if you are qualified, along with sports. The education s average, but I would recommend going elsewhere.
9/9/2019
The teachers really care about helping you throughout your HS career and help to prepare you for your next steps once you graduate.
5/24/2018
The staff of McDowell High School was very biased and picked favorites among the student population. Students that were in regular classes were encouraged to join manufacturing plants such as Baxters. While students in Honors or AP classes were encouraged to attend 4 year universities.

this school would rather target and prosecute the kids who are tardy and not the kids who are vaping and doing other things...? the teachers are good people but when it comes to students the school is over its head, they cannot control all the things going on around school and even if they could the...

In the past three years, this school has improved tremendously. It shouldn't get a bad rap. The teachers truly care about the students, the graduation rate has gone up and it has so much student involvement.
12/9/2018
This school is more worried and concerned about THEIR image on paper than they are the students, what they are learning, their passions, and being their best.
10/12/2017
Mcdowell High School doesn't care about its students and their academic future.
