Decent academics and college readiness programs, but absolutely atrocious community if you aren't a part of the "in crowd". Although it is common for high schoolers to be somewhat catty and vindictive, the school district does nothing to curb this behavior. Those who report bad behavior are treated the same as those who commit the behavior in the first place, and so long as you are a part of the school's sports team, it is guaranteed that there will be little repercussions for your actions. I still get extreme levels of anxiety entering the building despite having graduated a year and a half ago. This campus is not a safe place for practically any minority, and god-forbid you express any inclinations towards depression, anxiety, or academic struggles.

McAnally is the best school I have ever seen. The administration and teachers obviously love children and come to work everyday motivated to make a difference in the life of a child. They prepare children not only academically, but also socially. They teach leadership, teamwork and responsibility better than anyone. My kids came through there more confident, better able to handle diversity and better able to relate to children and especially adults. I really appreciate their holistic approach. I also like how involved the administration is. Whenever I had a kid have a conflict with a child or teacher, it was obvious the administrators knew my child and treated them fairly. I wish the rest of the district would take note as to what McAnally is doing. The only thing that I have heard about that McAnally could improve upon is their Special Education Programs. I hear these are largely underfunded across the district and not a priority anywhere in Aledo ISD.

The Great Schools review of this school is in my opinion, biased and ill informed. This is a great school with dedicated student's, teachers and staff. I find it disheartening that Great Schools, based on ineffective metrics, rates it at a 6/10 when virtually all ratings organizations rate it as a top school in Texas.When considering the Great Schools review, check the numbers for yourself. Don't blindly believe their assessment.
