McLaurin Attendance Center

McLauin High School's staff and faculty go far and beyond the call of duty for their students. They want their students to succeed. I know of teachers spending their own money and using their own time to provide for their classes. A small school set in a rural area Mclauin does not get the financial support from private business nor the tax money like the city schools do. As a result Mclaurin lacks in appearance and updated equipment. The small teacher to sudent ration is a plus for us. Less than 100 students in my daughter's class they all know each other well. Mr. Lennington and the assistant principals run a tight ship and as a parent I am pleased about that. As soon as you turn into the school's drive you see male coaches teachers and principals all out front on alert watching the parking lot and students unloading. Unlike the huge city schools you immediately are aware of who is in control at MHS. Ms Watson is always patroling the halls and the students do not want trouble with her. If your child wants to learn and succeed then MHS is a wonderful school. However there is low tolerance for trouble makers and clowns. MHS - a small school with a huge heart 4 students.

This school has very friendly people and it's a warm envornment. The teachers are very involved in the student life.If your kids ever have any trouble the teachers always contact the parents to let them know what their complications are. I went to school there and I'm very happy with my childhood education.

At McLaurin the principal is more worried about what color your hair is how your clothes look and pda. when they should be more worried about our education. I feel that we should be able to dress comfortable because I lean better when I am comfortable. I also learn better when I am listening to music. It helps me conentrate. The other day I saw a mother come to the school and raise cain because a girl had red tips in her hair. The thing about it was her tips were the same color as my natural hair color. The student had been wrote up and what I don't understand is if she is going to get wrote up for it why shouldn;t people who had blue pink green or purple hair be written up? Stop worring about how we look and be more worried about our education.

I think this school has lost touch with reality and the basic principals of education. In my eyes the principal is more concerned with a students personal apperance and action than on the educational process. A great example of this is the fact that I was informed last year by a teacher that my childs entire 10th grade class was only on an 8th grade reading level. I feel that if the principal would spend more time concentrating on the educational process instead of a childs action in the hall or their apperance he would have more time to reflect on the educationl factors of how a school is suppose to be ran and the teachers would be able to spend more time educating instead of carring out his personal prefrence policies. What has this school become we refuse to educate a child because of their personal apperance?

mclaurin is a very dirty school they need a new school

I have had 4 children in the McLaurin Attendance center 2 are still there 1 graduates next year . I have to say getting A's and B's they are doing well and if they slack I get e-mails or phone calls from teachers so we can correct the possible issue . I give McLaurin an A+ **

I have one child that graduated from McLaurin and one child that will be graduating within 3 years. This school does is NOT adequate within the preparation for college curriculum. The principals (and a few teachers) seem to be there for tenure reasons only.

I rank this as one of the Best schools in the state....right up there with Nanih Waiya in winston county...! Quality instruction Caring attitudes.

This is an excellent school. This is what school I picked for my kids. It seemed safe kind and very warm. I love it alot.
