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.

Started at McIntosh as a freshmen in the year of 2013 for the class of 2017, at the time school in general sucked, however little did any of know how great our school was. McIntosh was amazing in terms of preparations for students for college as well as athletics atmosphere and education in general. 11/10

I've had a pretty good experience but they do care more about academics than fun. Pretty strict about phones and dress code.

I just entered McIntosh this year as a freshman. I originally was very scared because the campus was much bigger than my middle school and I was afraid the teachers would be so scary. But that's not that case. The teachers are so friendly and understanding. They do their best to help you, and the campus is actually organized in a way where you can memorize the map within a day or two. It's not a scary experience, but rather quite an exhilarating experience. I loved my first week there.

Two kids have graduated from here, third one is about to go in. It’s a tough school, somewhat rigid and strict. Very focused on education and not so much on ‘fun’. However if you want your child to succeed and receive a private level education for free - this is the school for you! Besides all the c...
