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.

We have had nothing but a great experience at McPherson. My kids love it, one already finished 8th grade, went there from kindergarten all the way up and excelled academically both there and in HS, and J attribute that to the excellent preparation that kid enjoyed at McPherson. The other is still there and loves it. The teachers have been great and overall the staff is really good.
