McNair consistantly ranks as one of the best schools in New Jersey, News Week ranks McNair in the top 100 high schools year after year. A public school located in a poor urban community, the school is full of intelligent ethnically diverse students that desire the opportunity McNair represents. Most courses in McNair are either honors or AP thus preparing students for college classes. Most, if not all, graduates go into 4 year colleges. Classes at McNair are tough and challenging but rewarding. There are many extracurricular activities, many students are active in either sports or club activities.
 
Personally, I believe McNair to be the best school of the 5 Jersey City Public Schools. The classes may be hard, but they are rewarding, some students have graduated from McNair with enough college credit to enter Rutgers New Brunswick as a junior.
 
A common story heard over the United States is the lack of funding schools recieve, the same applies to McNair. Located in Jersey City, a poor urban area, the school's budget was once again cut while the number of incoming freshmen increase. However, McNair makes the best of it and continues to do its best to provide all students with the best quality education that all students deserve. Walking around McNair, you may hear conversations about Da Vinci or Shakespeare, the recent election or stem cell research, college search and career choices, the latest songs, tv shows, or movies, the Girl's Volleyball game after school or the Model UN meeting. The variety of topics discussed in McNair range from intellectual debates to friendly conversations. McNair students have many interests but never forget to enjoy life.
