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.

It was fun for the first two years but due to the recent fence and phone policy it sucks a lot and generally feels like a prison.

The best parts are by far how many school activities there are after school and during as well. I wish there were more clubs and ways for students to interact based on interests.

McQueen high school is great place for learning, all most all the teachers are amazing and help with anything you need. Our sports programs are good but not good to the point where we win every single time, although there has been a couple of famous athletes who have graduated from our school. The only part about our school that sucks is that the administration only cares for the football sport and does not care for any other sport, as well as, take care of any other field.

My son goes to Mc Queen and loves it! He’s in marching band and takes AP’s and honor subjects. Teachers and staff are great and takes time to listen to the students concerns. I’m glad we move to this neighborhood for my son to have a great school.

Don't be deceived by the high ratings -- they were posted YEARS ago and are OUTDATED. The fact that this school has such a high rating is ridiculous. One thing you must know about this school is the order of their priorities. First, they care most about sports (especially football). Then they care a...

I've had two graduates from McQueen and two are there now. They have an excellent group of teachers and they offer great honors and AP opportunities. The music programs are top notch, probably the best in the state. Like many big high schools, there are challenges, as it feels less of a community th...
