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.

McKenzie High School is like a huge family. This school is surrounded by lots of support from the small community of McKenzie. I have been going to this school since I was 4 years old. I am now 18 years old. This school has taught me so much and has been the best experience I have ever had. The culture of McKenzie is amazing. This school has the sum of the best teachers around the county and state of Alabama. We have maintained between a A-B grade throughout the school.

There are several great things about McKenzie. The small class sizes allow teachers to get time one on one with students and also creates a tight-knit student body. The main things I would like to see change are the lunches.

McKenzie is one big family. Sometimes we fight and bicker, but we will always be there for one another. I am proud to say that this school has provided me with more than enough resources for my development. I am proud to be a McKenzie Tiger.
