Principal Melanie Martinez is incompetent and doesn't take bullying or physical assault seriously my child was stabbed in the neck with a spork by another student, and she did absolutely nothing about it. She simply talked to the student and told him not to do it again. The child was not suspended or anything and was still allowed to play at recess. When I called to explain the seriousness of the child's actions I was told that I was overreacting. When I grew angry and used foul language I was hung up on. I had to get a police officer to go up to the school and explain the seriousness of what happened. Hopefully we get a new principal soon that actually looks out for our children. School should be a place that is safe for our kids. Be cautious when sending your children to this school. And don't ever stop advocating for your child.

Every year I point out how unfair these ratings are to the population that this school serves. To anyone relying on these ratings please understand the high percentage of English language learners at this school. The school is a great place of diversity and opportunity. The staff is fantastic. Please visit before judging.

It is hard to be capable with over 2500 students in attendance, over 300 staff members, a multitude of backgrounds but McCaskey pridefully embraces it with open arms. McCaskey takes in more students from different countries than a quarter of the US which is why it's test scores struggle. Admittedly, they are not only my Alma Mater but my employer now as well so I may seem bias. But as someone who has spent some of my hardest years in life there, I can say they saved me. Go Tornados!
