I love this school. We are always trying everyday even if the school's reputation is horrible. When you meet everyone, we are probably the nicest people you could meet. We have a lot of talented people and we are still growing as a school. I'm so proud to be here I don't want to go to my future new school at all. There are a few things that don't work out like rallies and certain events but our sports and academics are great. Yeah we have low scores but we all are great. Everyone is supportive so don't be afraid to join. Eagles! ;)

This school is pretty good when it comes to some things. I just can't put my finger on what those things are,haha. Most of the people that like this school like it either because they play a key role in running it (student gov,etc.) or because they are really ghetto. All in all,it's an okay school. It has nice teachers,mostly, and occassionally attempts to get us involved in rallies and things of the sort. It just lacks in some departments but it's okay.

My daughter is an intra-district transfer to McNair for the past two yrs and we have been so fortunate in all aspects of landing this school coming from the private sector. It is new and bugs are being worked out but over all the staff and the majority of students their are GREAT!

We are both currently Juniors at Ronald E. McNair 09' yeah. Well we view are school as very strict but at the same time it keeps us under control and ready for the future. Are principal is very cool he cares and trust and believe he loves to hear how great his students are doing and always congradulating. We can relate him to Morgan Freeman in the movie ' lean on me' he knows sometimes classes can be hard but he always encourages us to not give up as well as the other administration staff. As a athlete ma grades seem to flip flop but every thursday i can always expect to get a weekly progress report to return to mr. Davis he on is job.Mr.davis is cool he's very active and interrested in what the students are into

I am currently a junior at Mcnair and I think that it is an okay school. Sure not everything is perfect, but then again no school is. Slowly, all previous problems are being tackled and the school is improving. Last year, the construction was somewhat of a problem, but now everything is nearly complete. This school has a wide range of activities: band, cheerleading, Key Club, Red Cross club, Indian Club, Polynesian Club, breakdancing, Hip-Hop club, Pakistani club, Viet Club, hmong club, expresso club, science olympiad, link crew, j.s.a, bowling club, M.A.D., volleyball, softball, baseball, basketball, water polo, swimming, soccer, badminton, tennis, track and field, swimming, golf, european club, french club, and a few I forgot to mention. The academics are also excellent and McNair offers: Spanish thru AP, and French, journalism, culinary arts, fashion and design, psychology, web page design, computer lit/aps, AVID, and tons more.

I am a junior at Mcnair, and it's a great school, there's a lot of people here for just about every group, from goth/punk to preppy people, any other student can fit in here. the only thing I have to complain about it is that some of our sports teams arent doing so well, just the baseball, wrestling, and soccer teams. either way, if you're thinking about sending your child here, or you yourself are considering coming here, Mcnair is a good place to learn in a friendly as well as safe environment.

Hello I am a sophmore at McNair high school! that school is a great I would recomend any student to go there it is drama free! and I really like it. There are teachers that care and Mr.Davis(principle) is the most wonderful principle I had ever had he's concerned about student grades and so forth. The other two principles Mrs.Rose and Mrs.Pearson are also great. I love my school and I wouldn't choose another school before it! Go Eagles! -Sammara Green

Hello everyone, I am a junior right now at McNair High School. Overall, the school is off to a great start. The availability of music and art is sufficient. For sports, It'd be cool for us to have a boy's volleyball team. & McNair High School has a decent amount of clubs, but I think that students don't relaize that they can start their own club or organization if they wanted to. Also, because we're a brand new high school, we need to set new traditions for this school, and much of that takes organization of the student body. & in my opinion, this school isn't very spirited or pumped up about the dances or other special occassions we have. It seems like they don't care.

About the tests


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.

About the tests


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.

About the tests


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.
