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 school definitely could use some help. The building is falling apart and is always super cold during the winter months. You had to walk to the elementary to be able to get to the cafeteria. You also had to walk to a different building for a gym. The education was alright but I definitely was not prepared for college.

McEwen High School has a great small-town atmosphere. Even though there are only about 300 students, it is a good place to be.
