Eleanor McMain Secondary School

This school is not what it used to be. This is a disgrace to all Mustang pride in previous Alumnis

BEFORE YOU TRY TO TARNISH MY ALMA MATERS CHARACTER, PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT...THIS IS DIRECTED TO THE PARENT WHO SUBMITTED ON AUGUST 11, 2011. LIL WAYNE DID NOT GRADUATE FROM MCMAIN BUT HE DID GO THERE UP UNTIL 8TH GRADE. WHILE ATTENDING, HE WAS HELD TO THE SAME STANDARDS THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE AND MAINTAINED THAT EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE THAT HAS ALWAYS SET MCMAIN APART. HE WAS A STRAIGHT "A" STUDENT WHILE THERE, BY THE WAY...AND AS HE HAS SHOWN THE WORLD, VERY TALENTED..I AM A VERY PROUD MEMBER OF THE CLASS OF 2000 AND I WENT ON TO GRADUATE FROM AN IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL. I HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL CAREER. MY CLASSMATES ARE THE DOCTORS WHO YOU SEE WHEN YOU ARE SICK, THE LAWYERS YOU GO TO FOR LEGAL ISSUES, THE SCIENTIST WHO DEVELOP THE MEDICINE YOU ARE PRESCRIBED, AND THE NURSES WHO ARE CARING TO YOU. YOU JUST DID YOUR DAUGHTER A GREAT DISJUSTICE. I HAVE LIVED ALL OVER THE WORLD, ALL BEFORE 30. MCMAIN ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE A SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE.

This is where Lil Wayne graduated from... Think about that. terrible teachers, students are rowdy and have absolutely no manners. I took my daughter out of this school after 2 months.

Now i look at these reviews and they make mcmain seem like it's all that. It's really not. I feel like the teachers here are very qualified but some just don't have any quality in their teaching. Nowadays most students don't take the initiative and do the work own their own and take that extra mile, the teacher makes it worst because of lack in quality of teaching. And also the 'office people' are not that welcoming. I'm not going to go into detail but, they're are a bunch of hypocrites. I believe, them, being the heart of leadership at this school they should set the example for everyone. I often see the visitors (parents mostly) and they think the school is so dandy but they just don't know.

A fine school meeting its students needs and showing students from a variety of backgrounds that they can achieve.

I am a current senior at McMain Secondary and I love it. The leadership that is represented to us through our teachers and administrators remains un-parrelled!!! Our school provides both a rigorous curriculum and a safe learning environment. Each day I wear my uniform proudly and I take pride in saying that I am a McMain Mustang!

I graduated from McMain in the class of 2008. I attended McMain for 7-12 grades. At first I considered McMain one of the top learning facilities in all of New Orleans. How ever I must digress as this changed over the years as I ascended in grade into high school. The school was deteriotating rapidly both the building and the people within. THe students became rowdy and and unruly which caused the teachers to become nonchalant about whether or not any of the students passed or failed. Personally I did not blame them. I did my share and gained the approval and trust of many members of the faculty members on a positive noe. The faculty and some of it's members played a part in this decline but the bulk of the blame rests with the school board i believe.

I give my school five stars because it is a school where students are welcomed with open arms and leave the school with more wrinkles on their brains, meaning that your child will leave mcmain with more knowledge, than when they came in the school.
