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.

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.

McClure is one of the best schools I will ever go to, they gave me so much love and laughs over the years. As I am finishing up my run at McClure I would like to thank my principal dan chick. He is the most dedicated most hard working principal I have ever had in my life. He makes sure everyone has a smile on their face before him. He was always there for me and listened to all my krap. Thank you mr chick. All the teachers here at McClure are the most hard working men and women. If you don't believe me come on to McClure. One of the best educated schools you'll ever see. I'm one of the most pain in the but students you'll ever meet and they somehow stuck with me and calmed me down to be a better kid and person. Thank you McClure.

I went to mcClure in the late 1950's and value to this day the ideals and level of accomplishment that was stressed every single day.
