I disagree with one current review. McGill is a great school and always has been. I feel that they do the best they can for all children. Sometimes the the lack of parent support gets in the way of what is best for the student. Some parents feel that it is the school's responsibility to teach not only academics but every other aspect of life. Maybe some parents need to take more responsibilty.

About the tests

In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
