Wonderful school. We are very happy to be part for Mckinley.
Posted by a parent on 9/7/2024We were initially pleased with the school but were soon disappointed when learning differences presented in one of our children. The comfort level of the teachers, as well as the desired conformity amongst their students came before the educational needs of our child. In our experience the administr
Posted by a parent on 7/17/2019Mr Biunno is an incredible principal who cares so deeply about children feelings and safety that his leadership and empathy is truly unparalleled.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy oldest daughter started at Holy Trinity in kindergarten in 1999. We have put all 5 of our children through both campuses from Prek-8th grade. Our youngest is currently in 4th grade. Our older children went on to excellent Catholic high schools, and achieved success through college and careers because of the foundational skills they learned in grammar school that was enhanced by daily practice of faith.Parent Review7y ago - Bamboo Shoots Preschool

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll 3 of my children attended WDCC. They began in the toddler classroom and moved up through to kindergarten. Each class was amazing in its own way. The teachers are experienced and caring. They take the time to get to know your child and communicate with you on an ongoing basis. I love that they serve snacks and lunch. My children ate very well there! They have fresh fruit everyday and now one of my children loves fresh broccoli and cauliflower! My youngest child has just graduated from the full day kindergarten and is reading on a 1.75 grade reading level. They have a hands on approach to learning and believe that children learn through play and interaction with others. They like to involve the parents and I felt a real sense of community there. The staff are exceptional and the environment and surroundings located right nest to the park is ideal for walking trips! I will miss them dearly but will be sure to visit often...they are like family to my family!Parent Review11y ago - Westfield Y Childrens Center
