I was a student at this school. Lower school was mostly good, but middle school was not. I was very stressed with academics being unorganized.

Mc Gehees has two cliques per grade. Those who will make their debut and those who won't . Those who don't make a debut are bullied beyond repair. The academics lead to very low ranking colleges.
