This school seems to be pretty neglected. The arts programs are basically non-existant because more money is spent on the sports teams than anything else.

The school has some very nice people and teachers but where the problem lies are the education and the lack of anything else. There is some learning to be had but not even the teachers know what to do at some points i had to wait to get my school email till 2nd marking period. I would love for them to take a week and train the teachers and hire some new ones in the process.

The STEM Academy was probably the best part about my high school experience. The teachers were nice and understanding. I feel like I learned a lot of things that I still refer back to in real life and in college. If I could go back and choose which high school to go to, I would still go to McMichael.

I don't like this school honestly but I'm forced to be here and I honestly do not like this school because it's trash everywhere I go and even outside like no one really takes care of this school. I keep getting hit by balls in gym and the exercise bikes are terrible and I'm short so I can't really...

Overall well. I have loved this school and now that I am currently at a university with no student debt, I can confidently say that this school has prepared me for college.
