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 has its ups and downs. While a lot of teachers could definitely improve when it comes to taking pride in their work and communicating well with students, the open campus is a major plus. It gives us a nice break during the day and a little taste of freedom.

McEachern is a very diverse school culturally. The teachers are good and mainly use power points. The cafeteria is one of the best in the county because it has many different options.

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...
