Rating 3.88 out of 5 451 reviews
Despite from what I had previously heard about the high school with its reputation of drugs, I came to realize this was an amazing school that give its students so many wonderful opportunities. I have been going here for 3 years now, and the teachers are some of the most qualified individuals I have seen. Not just the teachers, but the whole staff as a whole is extremely helpful and supportive of students, and they make sure to maximize the success in all teens attending. There are COUNTLESS opportunities offered by McIntosh; work based learning, after school programs, and many extracurriculars including a drone team! There is something for everyone who goes to this highschool, and I am extremely fortunate to attend.
McIntosh is a highly competitive school academically and looks good on paper; however, the environment students learn in is highly questionable. As a graduating senior this year, I have had a mixed experience as a student. I will go ahead and say this: the drug abuse problem at McIntosh is absolutely horrible. It is scary to say that something like smoking weed and drinking is completely normalized. You go into a bathroom, it smells like weed and you will find alcohol disposed of in trash cans. Vaping is also a huge issue. Also, the school lunch is horrifying, there is hair in it. McIntosh does very well with AP classes and grades though!
McIntosh prepared me for college so well, a lot of my current college school work seems easy compared to what I did at McIntosh. However, that meant the overall mentality of the student population was highly academically driven. Students and teachers alike make academics overcomplicated, and mental health is overall low. Although there have been recent improvements in encouraging taking care of mental health at school, it still felt like most kids are still highly affected by the rigor in courses. All the teachers are qualified and knowledgeable, and most make an effort to make McIntosh a community. All athletic coaches are stellar given that most sports perform really well, and joining their teams provides a lot of lessons and fun experiences.
