GreatSchools Rating
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.

A lot of the teachers are very unprofessional, eg talking throughout the entirety of exams, discussing other students marks with others, etc. But there were a few extremely good teachers, especially in the French Immersion department.

I liked how all the classrooms were organized, if I could change something about the school it would be the way of culture needed. Majority of mclaughlin students are native american. We need to bring our language back and our traditional ways, by singing the sacred songs. I suggest monday morning group up, k-12 will all gather and pray and announce all the daily school announcements like sports, birthdays, lunch, any social events that are going on.

If could do it all over again, I'd still choose to go McLaughlin. From kindergarten to my senior year, I've made friends near and dear to my heart. I also have fond memories of the school that I wouldn't trade for anything. Some of the teachers and staff were like mentors to me and taught me a lot more than just education.
