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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

It's a decent school for our area, but is in no way a school I would choose for myself or future children.

There are many extracurriculars at MCC. There are activities for athletes and nonathletes but I wish there was more recognition for nonathletic activities.
Class sizes are small. Majority of teachers are in the profession for the right reasons and it shows. It's in a small community and even though less diverse than larger schools, kids are genuinely cared for and about.
This school is not welcoming to new students and if your child struggles and DOES NOT qualify for learning disabilities they don't care. The coaches are more about who you are then what you can do. I WILL never send another one of my children there
