My kid has had a mixed experience. Cons: We had higher hopes for the pathway experience, but it definitely feels like everyone is super-apathetic, most especially the pathway lead teacher. There are not many pathway-related opportunities. Some of the teachers are also not very strong. And there doesn’t seem to be any school spirit. Pros: the building is really nice. Bullying doesn’t seem to be a problem. The administration is very responsive to any problems that come up. A few of the teachers are amazing.

We have been very happy with McBride High School. My son is a senior this year so he has been at the school almost from the beginning. The student population is very diverse and the kids are very kind to each other and accepting of their differences. There are many clubs that are open to the students, which is a great way to meet people from the other pathways. Because the school is small, the teachers and administrators are familiar with all the students. There are some fantastic teachers that have really inspired my son. Students have many choices of how many AP or Honors classes to take and because there are 8 periods it is possible to take A LOT of AP courses. Even so, the homework seems reasonable. They have been very supportive of the parents and students that are going through the college application process, many on campus visits and councilors available to help out. It would be wonderful if they could figure out how to include a music program here, we have missed that. I would recommend this school for any student that would like a smaller learning environment that offers a curriculum that can be adapted to the student’s interests. It doesn’t hurt that the campus is beautiful!

My son is a student at McBride.We love the school.Also, your information about the school seems dated; there are over 700 students at McBride. Your data do not inspire confidence.
