Newman Elementary School

This school has been great for my kids. The teaching and administration staff is caring and informative my kids are learning. I am Happy with it.

This is a great neighborhood school. We have three students, 5th, 3rd, and Kindergarten and all are thriving in this caring and supportive environment. McKinley is the most socioeconomically diverse school in the city. Therefore there is a diverse student population based on needs in order to meet academic standards. There are many supports in the school for both ends of the spectrum of student abilities due to additional resources as a title school. This school has great administrative leadership and a tremendous retention rate of new teachers who are willing to commit to a more challenging population to educate because of the high standards and culture of support. Finally this historic building was fully renovated and has the old school charm with updated amenities. Wouldn't ask for anything else for our kids. Very active PTA, but definitely a need for more parental involvement to support the system.

I have had a child at this school since 2008. We have had nothing but wonderful experiences with teachers, staff and the principal. Is it perfect? Of course not. Yet I have always been encouraged to be active in my children's classrooms and set up conferences when needed. Any questions or concerns I have had are always addressed by the principal, teacher or staff member in a professional, honest and respectful manner.

This school is amazing they listen to your issues and fix them the best way they can

Great school. The teachers and principle are amazing, they are very helpful and considerate. They also have great programs that get everyone involved all year round. Overall the best school in my opinion. Don’t be put off by the neighborhood this is the southeast side of town and not like the south side used to be!
