This is a great neighborhood school. We have three students, 5th, 3rd, and Kindergarten and all are thriving in this caring and supportive environment. McKinley is the most socioeconomically diverse school in the city. Therefore there is a diverse student population based on needs in order to meet academic standards. There are many supports in the school for both ends of the spectrum of student abilities due to additional resources as a title school. This school has great administrative leadership and a tremendous retention rate of new teachers who are willing to commit to a more challenging population to educate because of the high standards and culture of support. Finally this historic building was fully renovated and has the old school charm with updated amenities. Wouldn't ask for anything else for our kids. Very active PTA, but definitely a need for more parental involvement to support the system.

Based on comments I have heard in the community this school has a bad reputation but my kids have done great there. While COVID has made everything suck my kids still look forward to going to school.

All three of our children enjoyed going to Senior and they received good educations. From there they all went on to college. Kudos to the staff at Senior for a job well done. Many thanks.
