My child went to 7th and 8th grade here and it was terrible! It got worse one year to the next. I couldn't believe how many police officers visit that school everyday because of the number of fights and gang related activity. I do not recommend this school to anyone. They have recently moved to a

This school might not be the shiniest tool in the shed, but it's been an extraordinary mark of the city. The music department is very good (thanks to, Mr. H. and Mr. Baker) and academics all depend on teaching styles. But, I think the lack of PROPER discipline does effect how the student body runs.
... Read more Since the discipline is based (or should be) on classroom disturbances or disrupting the peace. Maybe, they should loosen up a little on dress code, and walking around without a hallpass, and start paying attention more to serious issues like drugs, fights, and threats. I haven't really encountered a problem. But, no one can always put the blame on a teacher. Sure, they are people and we all make mistakes, but teenagers also tend to say things to get out of their priorities. Parents don't forget to make somewhat of an effort to show (cont...) Read less

The school has constant fighting (3-5 wkly), overcrowded classes, poor teacher quality and admin. that denies the problem. Also no lockers and lots of stolen items.

There is no discipline. Rules are not followed by all. I am embarrassed to say my grandchildren attend MacAdams. The music department is wonderful but unappreciated. There are some wonderful teachers who are not supported by the administration.
