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.

McEachern is an okay school, but it's gone downhill since I entered my freshman year. Every year, we have threats. In February of 2024, we had a shooting. December of 2023, two people brought guns and airdropped a picture of them posing with them in the bathroom. Honestly, the administration is great. The principal is the issue. She cares more about appeasing the higher ups while not listening to what the students have to say. I can't really say what the best part of my experience was. I don't feel safe and I want to leave. Changes I would like to see are better communication between students, parents/guardians, and the school. I'd also like to see the school made a safe place to go to.

The best thing about going to McEachern is they have a lot to offer you, depending on your career path you planning on doing, they have classes to help you get some knowledge on the career. They also make sure you take the right classes to make sure you graduate. The worst thing about McEachern is the safety, we are an ex-college campus, so it's easy to get into school grounds, and the people who has a criminal record they allow them in the school.

The best experiences were when the ethnic studies teacher would be in charge of the school pep rally's and get everyone pumped up. The worst parts were the times we went on lockdown twice in the span of 4 months.

Majority of teachers are helpful and have a lot of care for their students. Information in classes are relatively easy to retain when students put in the effort. Main problem with the school is the administration, college readiness, and safety. Administration wise, it’s mostly with Regina Montgomery...

This school has a lot of potential and great programs that are unfortunately pushed to the side for sports and BETA club students. If your kid is interested in any other programs, expect low recognition, funding and support from the school. I've enjoyed my time at McEachern, but it's only been becau...

This use to be a good school about 5 years ago. Some of the teachers are still very dedicated. What has changed? Basically the element of kids that attend. There is to much fighting, to the point there was 5 fights in one day. One super senior who shouldn't even be there stomped a poor kid's head in...
