this school would rather target and prosecute the kids who are tardy and not the kids who are vaping and doing other things...? the teachers are good people but when it comes to students the school is over its head, they cannot control all the things going on around school and even if they could the
Posted by a parent on 2/22/2023In the past three years, this school has improved tremendously. It shouldn't get a bad rap. The teachers truly care about the students, the graduation rate has gone up and it has so much student involvement.
Posted by a parent on 12/20/2018This school is more worried and concerned about THEIR image on paper than they are the students, what they are learning, their passions, and being their best.
Posted by a student on 12/9/2018Mcdowell High School doesn't care about its students and their academic future.
Posted by a student on 10/11/2017Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse after the "Athletic Banquet," where the Seniors did not even get a Varsity Letter after participating in a sport for four years... they left my daughter's Senior picture out of the yearbook!! Worst high school EVER!!

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI couldn’t be happier that we made the decision to shift to Eastfield. The staff has been so supportive, my daughter’s test grades are on the rise, and she is getting much needed one on one time, music, and art. As transplants to the area, having lived in many states, it is clear the the folks at Eastfield are dedicated to improving the lives of their students.Parent Review2y ago - Marion Elementary School
