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.

McCracken has provided me with endless opportunities. I feel like I have been educated very well, and I can go into the world and get into a nice college. McCracken offers trade school opportunities as well, and I think that is super interesting. I have had a very good experience with their color guard activity and band.

I'd like to see students be more involved with the school and the teacher be more involved with students. There's a lot of students that sleep and play on their phones all class. I'd also like to see them enforce the rules more.

Overall, my experience at McCracken County High School has been decent. I've made so many great memories at my school that I will never forget. However, the four years I've spent at my school has also had some lows. Up until this year, my school has never enforced backpack checks and walking through metal detectors upon entering the school. While I'm relieved we have these things now, the past three years without these things caused me to fear for my safety at times.
