If you're living in the McKinley Complex area and your child is about to attend McKinley High School, I strongly recommend exploring other options—whether that means transferring through a GED program to another public school or considering a private school instead.While there are individual teachers and staff who care, the overall administration feels disconnected from the student body. The school morale is noticeably low, and it shows in both the environment and the way things are run. There's a lack of unity—not just between students and faculty, but even within the community as a whole. It often feels like everyone is just trying to get through the year rather than actually grow, connect, or improve.The school could benefit from stronger leadership, better communication, and a more structured support system for students. Right now, that’s missing. If you're looking for a high school experience that will really support your child’s development—both academically and socially—this might not be the best fit.

No one in this school is well-educated. The kids don't really like their teachers. Most kids in this school are mentally drained. The special education only ever interact with teachers and other special education students. A lot of kids in this school have been ganged up on and fought against. The family engagement is okay though. If you want your children to be happy, well-educated and treated nicely, you might wanna choose another school.

This school is great, clean, close by.
