Really great school better english and social studies department than LASA. Math and Science may lack just a bit

The fine arts program, the english department and the history department are fantastic. The pre AP math and science classes that my child has taken so far have been terrible.

Caring, smart teachers, accepting of all students, small enough so that students know almost everybody; great administration.

I believe you get out of school what you put into it and McCallum provides excellent opportunities for all students. My daughter is in AP classes and is a dance major in the Fine Arts Academy. She has wonderful teachers that are grooming her for college and teaching classes that I wish I could attend. The arts aspect of the school keep it funky, diversified, and more culturally advanced than any other school I know of in the area. I love McCallum.

My 2nd child to go to McCallum just started and loves it. Both boys were in the Fine Arts Academy and pre-AP/AP classes. They've had some outstanding teachers. Thanks to Ms. Adamson, Mr. Ferguson, and 'the Wiz'!

McCallum needs a makeover! it is a very dirty school, and it feels uncomfortable to be there...

We moved here from a small town where teachers call you right a way if there is a problem or if your child creates one, also they will call you if your child seems to have difficulty in a subject and try to correct it with after school tutoring I don't see anything like this at McCullam High. I am a bit disappointed in this school.

The Fine Arts academy is underfunded, but of the highest quality. Academically, if your children are not interested in the Academy or are not willing to take pre-AP classes, I'd look elsewhere. Discipline and substandard teachers are a problem in non-pre-AP classes. Good variety of extracurricular activities. Some great pre-AP teachers, others on the edge of burning out or focus mainly on state test scores. They stress diversity, but the fact is that that only happens in sports, the rest of the activities and academics are segregated. Communication with teachers and academic staff is slow and difficult. I fully support the Academy, I'm sorely disappointed in the rest.
