Given its funding and resources, it is a mediocre school. Teachers are fine (there are a few exceptions); however, it appears that they can become a little too involved with student lives/drama, which is unprofessional. However, I understand that it is a close-knit community, with many people being related. With it being a relatively small school comes the prominent issue of favoritism. Hopefully, these things can be changed in the future!

Macon Co. R-IV is a fantastic school. Small class sizes provide individualized schooling for students. The faculty challenges the students with creative lessons. The administration is amazing. I couldn't ask for more. My daughter loves going to school.

A great place... to get an absolutely mediocre education. I graduated from this school awhile back, but, still having connections to the community, I gather that it hasn't changed much. There are actually many good teachers, but the curriculum is not challenging at all. It would be a great school for remedial education, but for any student destined to get over a 25 on the ACT, the lack of challenge in the curriculum really just encourages them to be lazy. And that catches up to you in college. Besides that, this is the kind of place where you memorize what you need to for a test, and then it all flies out of your head. There is very little practical application of the material, so it doesn't stick with you. I can honestly say that most of what I truly *learned* during high school, I taught myself. Now, about rules- they are unevenly applied at MCR-IV. The administration, and some of the teachers, have serious favorites. If you are one of them, you have it made. If you are one of the kids labeled 'bad,' the administration almost seems to think of ways to get you in trouble. Anyway, I'll remind you that you should not "judge a book by its cover," even if it has a nice one.
