McNary High School Reviews
Rating 3.52 out of 5 363 reviews
The McNary highschool experience is subjective. It comes down to the amount of effort you choose to put forth to your academic career, and whether the individual takes it seriously. Personally, I enjoyed my sophomore year. However, in-person highschool is NOT for everyone. Highschool is a place to focus on your academics, and the journey outside of it. The key to success is to balance relationships of all kinds. This may sound cheesy but I can't emphasize enough: treat people with kindness! You will never know what is going on /what has happened to those individuals. Take on your education like your life depends on it. Ditching highschool and getting a GED isn't as easy as people make it look and you'll regret it because highschool is simple if you play your cards right. There are so many beautiful opportunities here. I knew too many people who simply couldn't stray away from addiction and living the"high" life; Incredibly talented and intelligent individuals too. Don't be like them.
Over the 3 and a half years I've gone to Mcnary high school, I've found both strengths and weaknesses in the establishment. I can't help but praise Mcnarys's music systems and classes, and I'd even go as far as to say that they succeed the most. The school also offers a long list of extracurricular classes to the student's benefit. Core courses are not nearly as strong and feel very outdated. Most teachers are very student friendly and supportive, but the rest of the staff can come off as very short or careless to students. Issues students have, whether they involve the school, or issues at home, can often have a hard time getting help. With that, it's also very difficult for a student to create change where is needed, and punishment like detention or expulsion varies from student to student. Advisory is mandatory each year but provides little to no help. The activities in advisory seem lazily put together, and most of the time students don't even do them.
Mcnary is a pretty alright school. Half of it is nice and new, while the other half is kinda old. Most of the teachers are very kind and inclusive. The kids are alright, however some can be quite mean. I have never seen bullying, but i have witnessed fights firsthand, as well as seeing videos. The elective classes are quite fun, depending on what class you take. We also have CTEC, which opens up lots of opportunity. I dont think the classes are hard, as I am in honor roll. Its pretty big compared to my middle school, but it didnt take long getting used to.
There are also a lot of extracurricular and club activities and options, which I like. Although I dont do sports, I have seen through my friends that its a great opportunity to make friends.
That pretty much sums up the school!
