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.

Mcalester High School is generally not a good school to send your kids to. There are way more cons than there are pros. One of the cons being that there are fights every single day, and that's seen as normal. Most of the teachers in the school clearly don't care about the students. However, there are a select few teachers that are really sweet and you can tell they genuinely enjoy their job.

McAlester fails to prepare students for college and life after. Resources are a big issue; students have barely any guidance and there aren't many options.
4.0 Senior

During my time at my school there has been plenty of ups and downs. It is relatively easy to find and make friends with all of the groups and activities. For me, it was band. That being said, there have also been plenty of fight which the staff had broken up relatively quickly. My school is nothing special, but it's great just the way it is.
