I use to attend Edward Hand and the discipline was great .I teach middle school.

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!

I must say that 3 yrs ago when my daughter started attending this school I was constantly concern about safety, teaching strategies, communication with staff, and almost every aspect necessary for a school...however, I am very pleased to see that despite of their VERY LIMITED funds, I have seen improvements since 2014 up until now. Even the new principal seems to be doing exceptionally. Understand this school is in the midst of our lowest income area of the city but it gives peace of mind to see their efforts to improve despite their limitations. My daughter loves this school and the staff are dedicated to help. Teachers volunteer often and even cover out of their own pockets for field trips for the children. That's something you wont find in other schools.
