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.

This school is where I grew up and I have many memories here. The school district is very average. The academics taught are the only thing that makes this school stand out over other schools in the area. The teachers are usually fairly envolved in our learning ability but some are not very pleasant o be around.

There are many extracurriculars at MCC. There are activities for athletes and nonathletes but I wish there was more recognition for nonathletic activities.

Class sizes are small. Majority of teachers are in the profession for the right reasons and it shows. It's in a small community and even though less diverse than larger schools, kids are genuinely cared for and about.

This school is not welcoming to new students and if your child struggles and DOES NOT qualify for learning disabilities they don't care. The coaches are more about who you are then what you can do. I WILL never send another one of my children there
