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.

Ok school, teachers didn't help much. Took away one of my math credits at random for no reason. School was mostly poor and upgraded in areas that didn't need upgrades.

McGehee High Schools has one of the math and science programs in the state. I love the one on one teaching that is available to students do to the student to teacher ratio. I would like to see the extracurricular department change, in the aspect there needs to be more to available.
