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.

The best part of Mcadory for me is the student body. The student body has been very kind and uplifting of each other from my own experience. I have had a mostly positive experience and cannot think of anything exceptionally bad about the school.

My experience at McAdory High School was not the best in my opinion. I did in fact learn things that will prepare me for the future. I still think that it is not enough.
