I liked Armenian teacher from 2021-2022. She sadly left. didn't like Armenian program no offense though. Chem and math teachers were alight. No offense didn't like rest of teachers. Students also are very careless. Im not a nerd but I felt like one and made only 2 friends. Never been to a school with so much students doing absolutely nothing. Also staff/teacher of course treat not good with bullying and sometimes do it themselves. I switched schools. And it was far worse than this school so I give it credit.

As a student, my time at McKinley was a bit short of expectation. It was the first school I attended after moving to the US and I immediately encountered bullying. I was placed in a class with english speaking children and was put behind Duolingo while everyone else did their activities, which made me fall behind. Moving up grades I became more proficient. I wasn’t any trouble, so often times one of my teachers would send me to accompany another student to the bathroom as the instructor was afraid the student would ditch instead. Thinking about it now, it’s a very odd system. I would also often get cussed out by the students even though it was not my fault. I also witnessed foul language being said towards teachers, and a teacher even quit halfway through the year due to the bullying coming from the students. Not a fun school.
