Not inclusive and my kids had 3 years of terrible experiences.

We have loved MMS the last year and a half, and I’m so excited to send my second there in six months. You can tell the staff care, which in this challenging education environment, makes all the difference.

I have found MMS to be a wonderful place for my child to flourish these last few years. The school offers so many opportunities through electives, after school clubs, McPie Nights and more to expose children to many opportunities which allows them to explore their interests and find their passions. The staff and teachers seem genuinely happy to work at the school and have a real passion for working with kids of this age. They are also really receptive to feedback and seem to genuinely want ALL kids to succeed.

The school is the worst school i ever been at, teachers don’t care about you, plus the 8th administrator don’t care if you get bully but somehow when we “bully” the administrator child, we, as a student gets in trouble. This school is terrible but they really do got some nice coaches but other than that teachers don’t care and administrator don’t care.

My son recently finished his second year at McClintock and we have been so happy with the school. The STEM offerings are excellent, from robotics to design to architecture, and my son was able to take 9th grade math during his 7th grade year. Every one of his teachers has been so engaged -- challenging students but also very compassionate and responsive. Mr. McHugh is a great leader and you can tell that he has the support of the teachers and staff. I highly recommend McClintock!

This school has poor leadership. Some of the honors teachers are not respectful.

I love the church who supports the children activities, however I find that some of the staff are not doing what they need to be doing, as far as teaching. They do not always follow up on issues they need to follow up on. My child goes to school there, and he does well, however I had a lot of disrespect from two of his teachers.The rest of them are nice. I also think the PTA can be more diverse.

My daughter is involved in so many activities at this school I can hardley keep up. There is always going to be a need for improvement at any school and the principal and the administration at this school is working very hard at doing this. I have had a very positive experience!!

McClintock is our neighborhood school and we decided to send our daughter there. She is now a 7th grader there and she loves it! We are thrilled with the teaching staff and she has made wonderful friends. We have nothing but positive feedback to provide! Very happy with our decision to stay local.

This school is wonderful. My daughter attended in 2013 and at first she was terrified by the rumors. She was transferred to Mint Hill Middle and she couldn't adjust there so I put her back in McClintock. She loved it there after all. Don't let rumors scare you it is better to know for yourself. We are glad that we gave it a chance.

I already know i'm going to this school and all, but it's scaring me that some people are giving real bad reviews on this school! I'm going to be attending this school with some friends and i'm only hoping for the best. Some reviews on this website says things like it's a school where the teachers don't really give homework, or the parents aren't involved with the learning of the children. And one that scares me plenty is that the kids get in lots of trouble and there are a bunch of fights! Urg, what is the truth of this school? Guess I( have to attend to find out this year. (2 week and 5 days till school) AH! ( my rating is based off of other views and research ).

There is no money for books. My child did not receive a personal set of books to take up, so she wasn't able to study for tests. Also, the teachers do not assign homework. They occasionally send home a worksheet to be completed, but the kids never bring home graded assignments. The school doesn't involve the parents in their children's education. Also, the teachers and new principal have no compassion for bullied students. They allowed my child to be tormented all year and literally told her to "find away to cope". Overall, this school is a complete fail.

Don't be fooled by the facade and the OLD reputation. My son is a 7th grader and doing very well academically. His teachers are committed to challenging him intellectually while encouraging him to grow. They could go elsewhere, but they are very loyal to McClintock and want to see it grow. The robotics team is outstanding, and the partnership with Christ Lutheran has exposed all of the students to wonderful experiences. We have been impressed with our new principal, Mr. Williams, and are looking forward to even better things when we move into our new facility.

So many great things are happening at McClintock, and we are so excited to be a part of it. Our son is a 6th grader who is participating on the cross country team and the robotics team. My wife and I have found the teachers to be very good and very aware when students need to be challenged more. The new principal has energized the school with a lot of enthusiasm, and students are respectfull. And with the new school opening next year, McClintock is becoming a game changer.

This school is awesome. It has the best robotics program in the state, the only real cross-country team in CMS for middle schoools, the teachers are engaging and accessible, and the principal is passionate. My son is a 6th grader who has always made straight As and scored in the 98th/99th percentile on EOGs. He continues to be challenged academically and has made a lot of friends at McClintock. We couldn't ask for a better experience for our son, and our daughter will be attending there next year. Go Scots!

Although this is our first year at McClintockk Middle School, I have nothing but good things to say about the school, the staff, the teachers and the administration. My son has transitioned to middle school with ease, and a lot of that is due to the wonderful staff and teachers at McClintock! They have gone above and beyond to make 6th graders feel welcome and at ease. During the first parent/teacher conference, I met with the teachers and they were friendly, informative, listened intently to any concerns I had, and just generally made the conference a good experience. I highly recommend McClintock Middle School to anyone in the neighborhood! The principal, Mr. Williams, and the staff are doing everything it takes to turn the school around and engage the students.
