I am a former student from McGary Middle School and I loved being there. I was there 6-8 and the teachers were amazing. My teachers understood me and helped me along the way. They treated you like their children and cared a lot about the students. Yeah there were some fights, but what school doesn't have fights? I now attend Harrison and this school is awful. The staff is ridiculous. I would rather be at McGary where there weren't that many fights because Harrison has a fight at least once a day. I would highly suggest sending your child to McGary Middle School!

I am now a junior at North High School, but I went to McGary all three years of my middle school career. I loved it. I did really well in all of my classes and my teachers helped me out alot. Of course there are some downsides, like it is a small campus, and there are occasional fights. But the teachers are outstanding and the students, for the most part, are pretty cool.

I am a student and love it. The only thing is it is a small school and hard to get around during passing periods. We need 5 minutes instead of 3, but otherwise it is a great school.

This school I would say is mediocre. I went there for 1 year and found that some of the teachers are cool like one of the science teachers there, but there are also some that I thought they were wasting my time. But it was a good year.

I think that McGary Middle School is an okay school. I went there for 1 year and found it a smart school. the students are little to self willed but they aren't to bad. the PTA is amazing. and the variety of sports just shocks you. but they expect a lot of students. not to much but just enough.

Best thing going for the school is that it is a feeder school for Harrison High School. The smarter kids are bored and not mentally challenged. Average students are left alone because the teacher's time is spent with the class clowns. Principal is ok, Asst. Principal needs replaced. The school is mediocre.
