During the 4 years I attended Macon County High School, I had a variety of experiences. I feel that this school system does not proper prepare students for college or life. I feel that there needs to be a better curriculum and overall staff.

I enjoyed the athletics but the academics need to be worked on. We are behind other schools when it comes to academics. We are not ready for standardized test like other surrounding areas. We are a few weeks from graduation and Instead of the administration trying to help us succeed it's like they are trying to fail us. There's no type of support for Seniors and there need when it comes to getting ready for college.
