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.

Brien McMahon High School is very diverse. We have a wide range of students, and clubs + activities to join. Academics range depending on your class level, from IB Diploma and Career Path Programs to Intensified and assisted courses. It's not the cleanest facility, and the bathroom's are often damaged.
