Parent involvement
My daughter started this year at Mclane. We have found numerous opportunities for her to grow academically. The student body diversity has helped my daughter grow in many ways. Mclane has something to offer for every student. Don't let the surroundings discourage you. Mclane is a fine school to prepare your son or daughter for college.

This school looks a little shabby but the results from it are great, the teachers are understanding strict and well concerned about their students, the students are fairly well behaved the times i've been there to bick up my daughters, i saw it is a good school.

mclane is an urban school,but they has great teachers and any student strugglings has a verity of programs avalible to them.
—Submitted by a student
McLane is an urban school in a somewhat depressed socio-economic area of town. The population is extremely diverse, and the school qualifies for system-wide Title I funding. Academic programs for motivated students are excellent, and a college-going culture is encouraged. Students who are having academic difficulty have a variety of resources available to them. The administration stresses academic rigor, and the staff has participated in three week-long summer institutes to increase student achievement via writing and reading strategies. Extra-curricular activities are available, but athletic teams, especially, are generally not competitive with more affluent schools/districts in the area.

I think Gina W. is not aware of all the good things going on at McLane. A center city school will always have some gang and drug problems. I would say the school is 90% great and 10% problems but it is always the problems that get seen. Our population is a struggling one. It is making great strides. McLane is not where it can be but it is on its way. Don't knock it down by only focusing on the negative. They disappear within the first four weeks of school. They cause trouble because they want to get kicked out. Spend some time on campus in the classrooms and find out what really is going on.
—Submitted by a teacher
As a 1987 graduate of McLane High, I am dissappointed at the education that my nephews now receive there. I realize that times have changed and kids are different these days, nevertheless the school is responsible for adapting to these changes. My nephews are not safe with the gang activity and general violence taking place on this campus. Drug use is at it's overall high here as well, can't the administration see this more clearly? The buildings are dishelved, and bars have been added on the gates - kids are still walking right off of campus. Again, I believe the parents have a big responsibility on their kid's behavior, it just saddens me to see what was once a good and disciplined campus go so bad. The violence must be addressed with a more severe punishment and the gangs evaporated. If a kid is found to be a gang member he/she should be expelled from the school - this might bring the parent aware of the activities of their kids that they just may not be aware of. I hope this school can receive help.

I have a son at McLane Medical Magnet Program, he started in it's pilot program and this is his 3rd year. I believe the Director is outstanding and that this program will bring forth many Health Professionals....I now have another son beginning and I am very pleased!

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
