Located in a residential area, the campus is bounded by Waterford Drive, St. Catherine and Parker Road.

Immediately adjacent are the former District Administrative Offices that included services for students and families in the Community School Program, PROBE Gifted Program, comprehensive Early Education services and the Child Development Center, a professionally run day care center that operates in conjunction with McCluer North's Child Development classes.

McCluer North was designed to provide adaptable and flexible space for a variety of instructional activities that include large-group presentations, small-group work and independent study.

During her 2008 bid for the presidency, Senator Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop at McCluer North.

Bill and Chelsea Clinton also attended the campaign rally, which was held in the school's gymnasium.
