Academically great! Terrible for student athletes who are passionate and looking to pursue their careers in the sports world. Softball and basketball varsity coaches are horrible, softball coach is the seniors best friends,NO communication skills. There are plenty of athletes that are better than the the ones they cater to because their parents is on the booster club. Please transfer if your kids are playing softball and basketball. Booster club in a deficit and just taking parent's money to recoup their losses from the year prior. No coaching skills at all. Chapman and Jesse Bonner was the best that pass through there as coaches.

I’m not sure where these bad ratings come from. My kids love this school. We’ve been here 2 years now & my kids are loving it… literally excited to go to school. There are many activities, great teachers, & the people in the front office are very helpful. There was an issue with the buses and the people who we were directed to speak with were awesome too. Even the bus drivers are awesome. The kids go on lots of field trips & there are a TON of activities at the school not only the children but for the families too. I am so happy we ended up at this school. My kids literally adore all their teachers. I have not interacted with the principal yet, but I have zero complaint about her so far. Not sure why so many people rate poorly…

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.
