All around good school with fantastic grounds and extracurricular activities.

The school is going downhill. I have an older child who attended 9 years ago, it was much better then. Many of the students are out of control and disrespectful. I attended the move up ceremony for my son and was greatly disappointed and upset by how many of the students acted at the event. They yelled out, and some cases were screaming when their friends names were called out and mean to those who they did not like. The girl sitting behind me was snorting like a pig when a heavy set girl when up to the stage and other students laughed. Nothing was done.Many of the students were dressed inappropriately especially the girls. They wore really short revealing dresses. I cannot believe their parents let alone the school allowed that to happen.It was a nightmare. The whole middle school event. The principal did not say a word . It is obvious he has no control over the school and many of the students have lots of issues. I now understand why my son never wanted to talk about what happens at the school and why he told me he did not want to attend the ceremony.He was right we should have stayed home. I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO SEND HIM TO PRIVATE SCHOOL.Abington JUnior high was a better school when Dr. PELLEGRINO WAS THERE AND THE TEACHERS AND THE SCHOOL BOARD SUPPORTED TEACHERS AND CARED.

I have three children at McKinley and I couldn't be happier. This is an excellent school staffed by exemplary educators. The school is bright and modern. The teachers, as well as the rest of the staff, are always accessible and show genuine concern for the students and families.
