(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is a terrible place to be enrolled. A majority of the teachers honestly don't know how to teach, with the exception of a few. The graduation rate is still low, and the overall test grades are miserable.

- I forgot to state that MCHS met AYP in 2010, one of the few high schools in Georgia that made it! They have been awarded over 1 million dollars in scholarships over the past 4 years. They have a great NJROTC Unit! They have hired better teachers and the graduation rate has improved from 45% to 76.1% over the last six years. They have two former students that have played in the NFL and one NFL coach/scout. I think the people of the community should visit with the principal and join the PTO or School Council to become more active with the school to support their efforts.

- The school has really turned things around. MCHS was one of the 44% of the high schools in Georgia. They working hard to prepare the students for 21st Century work market.

(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I think it is very sad that nobody has interest or concern as far as the education of the community. All the school seems to be concerned about is keeping the kids "in line" & don't bother to educate. Just take a look @ the test scores. I don't think being just below average is good enough. That should not be acceptable for anyone. But as i see here, noone is interested.
