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.

Mcpherson high school is a good school when it comes to athletics and fine arts, constantly performing well. We have good teachers that care about each student and want to see them succeed but we are limited by our facility and budget. For many years we have had to deal with the heat not working, pipes breaking, and the bells not working. Seeing a nicer school with less problems would be amazing but when it comes to the school teachers and activities themselves they are really good.

McPherson High School has very qualified teachers who are passionate about teaching. They care about their students. The worst part of McPherson High school is our facilities. Our town is not able to pass a bond and our school is negatively impacted by that. I would like to see upgrades to the facilities, but other than that I have nothing but good things to say about My High School experience here.

I have nothing but good things to say about the teachers and staff- everyone is very hardworking and caring. The facilities are in very poor shape and need major work done. The school culture is also very poor. Students have no spirit and tend to avoid being kind to new/struggling students
