There are some amazing teachers at this school but unfortunately there are also some terrible ones who have no business teaching as they display favoritism and bias and are clearly not passionate about nurturing children and making a positive impact nor have the people skills to deal with parents. My experience with the administration is that they protect their own at the expense of your child. Bullying is not addressed and handled in a very dismissive manner. There is no accountability on the part of staff should your child suffer in anyway. I don't believe that all the children recieve the same level of education and support at this school as another reviewer stated, the wealthy and privelaged students will have a positive experience here. Its really sad how much education has declined since Covid.

I am a student at McClure middle school and I sadly can not say that this school meets expectations. I can say from personal experience that there are several teachers who treat certain students with less respect and kindness than other students. I can also say that some teachers ar McClure don’t treat students with respect at all. Certain personal needs can be ignored, such as using the bathroom, eating, talking during designated talking time or even blowing your nose or getting a bandaid. McClure has quarterly talks with students about striving to be the best school in cobb county, almost degrading other schools in the district. We are asked, at these “grade level talks,” to perform at our highest ability just so we can take the lead as the best school in cobb county. Faculty members are sometimes harsh, and not understanding towards students who have let their grades slip or get a bad score on a test. Faculty members, including one of the principals, have cussed and demeaned students for bad behavior. Of course, some students behavior is bad but as adults you shouldn’t take out whatever the students have done, considering they are still learning right from wrong and are literally kids. McClure holds high standards for their students but most of the time cannot even meet the standards as adults. Kids are given loads of class work, homework, tests, quizes, and even projects to do in classes, sometimes all at the same time. it is an unrealistic standard set for young teenagers to be expected to accomplish all these tasks, while maintaining a perfect grade in all your classes. Students such as myself also feel that their needs for things are ignored by teachers and staff most of the time. Mcclure also rarely deals with student problems. I watch many people get bullied every day, and I myself have even been a victim of it before. However, nothing is usually ever done to help the victim of rude attacks made towards their personal appearance, popularity level, or smarts. On paper, McClure is a great school you would want to send your children to.
