(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am a parent of a current student at McDonough High school and a rising freshman! My daughter is having a wonderful experience at McDonough. The school is very typical of ANY OTHER high school, anywhere. I have come into contact with great kids, great teachers and a wonderful administration. She is having a great time with sports and clubs. She has made some wonderful friends! She is learning and excelling and is highly motivated and challenged by her teachers. High school is what YOU make of it!

(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This high school was a great school where the teachers really care about the students. The discipline on the students' parts is the only problem. A lot of the students don't know how to handle themselves in a public setting, which i believe to be the parents' fault.
