Not a safe environment for those with learning disabilities. They are placed with those with behavior problems with only creates an even worse learning environment for those with L.D.

McKinley’s "incentive" policy is a total joke. Barring 7th graders from field trips over a single "N" on a test isn't "motivation"—it’s lazy, elitist gatekeeping that punishes students instead of teaching them. To make matters worse, the staff is completely useless during the day; they are constantly glued to their phones at lunch instead of doing their jobs. They reward the loudest, most obnoxious tables by letting them get food first while the quiet students just sit there ignored, and they pull the same disorganized nonsense during dismissal. What is this, a school or a daycare for adults who can't put their phones down? While there are a few genuinely hardworking teachers who actually care about their students, the administration’s ridiculous rules and the lazy staff members are completely ruining the school experience.
