Geoff says: 
there is also the point that, if he went to Dumbledore or McGonagall 
to tell them, he would see this as letting Umbridge win – of 
conceding defeat; he would far sooner grit his teeth and plough on. 

kneazle says:
Just to expand on Geoff's excellent point, I think Harry, Hermione 
and even Lee Jordan do not go to the teachers because they are very 
aware of the power struggle going on between the adults. They are 
aware that telling anyone else would result in a conflict between 
Umbridge and the teachers that the teachers would likely lose. So 
they say nothing.

At least that's my take.
