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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

At McCook Central, there are few enough people to where you are close with any person you come in contact with. The teachers have an amazing relationship with all of the students and the administration is welcoming.

Some teachers are very good and have very good teaching skills. There are a few teachers in the school that have no control over the students in there class and have horrible teaching skills. I feel like one of the teachers i have has no intrest in the students and doesent really feel like being at the school. Overall the teachers are very aproachable and easy to talk to so they have good communication skills. I feel like some teachers play favorites so the grading is not always consistent.

The school is a little outdated but technology is a huge part of the curriculum here. Student computers are updated at least every two years. The staff is helpful for the most part too.
