I am a former student at McKinley. I learned a lot there, the teachers were extremely nice, and and students respected others.

I adore this achool’s Teachers and administration. I appreciate the individual concern given to my children - and my children are excelling.

N/A

There are some teacher's who are amazing, and do everything they can to help every student. Then, there are other teacher's who have their favorites; the rich kids, the sport 'superstars', and the relatives. On another note, the school lunches are terrible, though that is not entirely the fault of the school itself. I really wish that more funds would go toward the academics, and academic teams, and not all toward the sports. A decent charter bus would be sufficient. Or a field trip here or there.

This school has the worst reputation for bullying! Staff encourages this behavior, and literally looks the other way when bullying occurs!! They also cater to ONLY the 'wealthy' in Watertown, and if you are NOT wealthy, they will find ways to 'push your children' right out of the school, as mine were, because we were NOT the 'elite wealthy' they were looking for, AND my children did not bully others. Guess we just didn't 'fit it' to their criteria!!
