McGill-Toolen Catholic High School Reviews
Rating 4.09 out of 5 302 reviews
Overall Mcgill has a workload more similar to college. My peers from other schools from the area were not as prepared as I was for the workload. College prep was an important aspect of the school.
This school is horrible they are extremely strict about hair and uniforms instead of focusing on our education. All of the administrators should be fired because they aren’t doing their jobs. This school is ultimately the worst place to go if you are looking for a great high school experience they suck the fun out of everything you do. Just try to avoid this school.
I somewhat enjoyed my time at McGill. I felt safe and that it was a good school environment. But, I did not like some of my teachers and believed they treated people unfairly. I was also a part of an athletic program while at McGill and suffered from a lot of mental and physical challenges. My team and I weren't treated like teenage kids and was always seen as a failure because of tremendously high expectations. I am glad I am no longer a student there and don't plan on putting my future kids at McGill Toolen, even though my grandparents and parents attended McGill.
I have had and overall great experience. My teachers and classes and friends have been a blast. I really enjoyed my junior year. The worst part, for me at least has to be work load, but I am taking hard classes so it is expected. As with many places the only change I see needed is just basic educational improvements. And, Home Ed needs to be brought back.
Now that I’m about to leave McGill looking back it truly is an amazing school. The staff really wants you to succeed even if you don’t think it. The extracurriculars are phenomenal, they have something that everyone could enjoy. I have loved my 4 years at McGill and I’m grateful to be able to have gone to such a supportive high school. It’s truly like family at McGill and I will definitely be going back to visit.
McGill will forever hold a special place in my heart. I transferred to McGill sophomore year, and it was a brand new environment for me! I have been offered so much more structure, along with any help I have needed or wanted, and opportunities to be involved in school extracurriculars! McGill has pushed me to be the best student I can be, along with giving me the blessing of new friends, a foundational faith, and classes that push me to excel. After I transferred to McGill, I enjoy coming to school and being in the Yellow Jacket environment. Now that it is my senior year, I realize how fast the time went by. College is a brand new and exciting step for me, but McGill has prepared me for whatever comes next. I would highly recommend McGill to anyone who asks, and wish the best for my friends, teachers, and future Yellow Jackets!
Most of the staff truly want you to succeed. They are very strong in their faith. The staff do an amazing job of keeping the student body focused on their work. The classes are challenging and are very good at preparing the students for life after high school.
McGill-Toolen Catholic High School has changed my life in more ways than one. This school is where i met some of the very best friends one could ask for, my faith improves every day, and I am challenged to do the very best in all of my doings. There is truly never a bad day at McGill!!
I liked how the school was diverse but the teachers were not helpful. I would not send my kids to mccill for the price of it. I would send them to a public school across the bay before I sent them to Mcgill. All they do is ask for my money now that I am alum
I have been attending Mcgill Toolen for almost 4 years now. Since the first day I stepped on campus, I already love the atmosphere of the school. The student activities were very engaging of the upperclassman towards the underclassmen. The teachers are truly helpful, and they will take time out of their day to help you with any questions or concerns you have for them. Mcgill has transformed me to push myself academically and physically. There is always someone that will be there for you if you are struggling. There is many resources to academic help and tutoring. The clubs and organizations are very engaging, and have taught students a lot of things about their community. The sports life is motivating towards each other. No team degrades themselves or one another. Motivation is spread throughout the school. Through Covid, Mcgill still provided ways for everyone to enjoy school life while still taking precautions. The best friendships are made at this school. This school is family

Mcgill Toolen was a great school.All the students there are very sweet and kind. Since i’ve graduated, I’ve noticed that i am much smarter than most people i talk to who didn’t go there. They put us at a much higher standard and expect a lot more from us than other schools around. Once i have kids, i’m going to put them through Mcgill as well because i can see the difference between McGill and the other schools around Mobile. We are very blessed to be able to go to a school where they notice and care about you. If i was struggling they would help me and didn’t stop until i understood what i was doing. There is so many things you can choose from to get involved with the school. 68% of the kids of the class of 22 was granted with scholarships from many different colleges and we also had the highest grade records throughout a class since Mcgill started. We are definitely ready for college and the classes will be easier for us since we were held to such a high standard.
The best private school in the area. Excellent in academics, faith, and brilliant formation of real world skills as well as character.
Mcgill- Toolen has the best environment. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help with anything. The teachers are also very willing to help. They offer to come early in the morning and stay later to help you with whatever you need. The environment is very encouraging and I will miss this place a lot when I go to college!
I loved McGill for its education and the people I met there. They really try to keep us safe with ALICE drills and Covid-19 protocols. My friends are some of the best people I’ve ever met and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
McGill provides a safe and respectable learning environment. Can be very strict at times, however, overall it is a great school.
My experience at McGill-Toolen has been one I will cherish with me for the rest of my life. I feel like they have prepared me for the next chapter of my life that I am about to begin. Throughout McGill I have learned so many valuable life lessons that I know I will use not only in my daily life but also in my spiritual life. The school as a whole has brought me closer to God. The people at McGill Toolen are amazing as well I already consider some of them my lifelong best friends. I could not have asked for a better high school experience.
Great learning environment, but I do wish the bathrooms were better. you'd think such a nice school would have bathrooms with hand dryers that don't collect water. otherwise a great school with great people.
