This has got to be the WORST SCHOOL EVER....... They should Knock it to the ground fire all staff and faculty and start all over again with the proper kinds of Faculty. I would not recommend this school to any parent who likes a school to communicate with you about your child/student.

Honestly, I Believe This Is A Great School. There Is A LOT of Discipline For Those Students Who Are Not On Task, Disruptive, Or Disobedient. I'm An 8th Grader This Year ; I Participate Is School Activities (Sports, Band). These Past Couple Years The School Has Improved, At Least In My Opinion. It Is Organized, Proper, And Educational ; Well In An Honor Student's POV (ACC and Honors Class) . Ohh And It's 6-9 Grades . But Yeahh Mack Is A Great School With Some Strict But Cool Teachers, Staff, And [mostly] Nice Students . The Only Thing I Dislike (That Comes To Mind) Is Its Location . I Recommend This School Though ! :D

I loved going to Mack! When I was there it was such a great school to go to because of all the different programs they offered. Whoever said it wasn't a good school should rethink that!

I enjoy going to Mack. I disagree to who ever said they have no discipline. Its not the teachers fault. They don't have to be or babysitters. You guys need first hand experience of what really goes on in there. After all it is a new school. As for the test scores like I said new school, new teachers, new kids, back up.

The teachers are overwhelmed by there students to the extent that the students are the 'rulers' of the school. They have little to no control. The majority of the teachers though nice have decided that it is a popularity contest. So basically they have stooped down to the students level. If the teacher is licked and popular its almost guaranteed its because the teacher is lenient and lets the students get away with every thing they want. Have you seen their test scores? Atrocious! They need more teachers with a firm hand and alittle bit of savvy on how to deal with the 'terrible teen' stage. We need BETTER 'chiefs' to take care of our young 'indians'!
