Whitford Middle School

McKay has been an amazing school for my Daughter on every level. From educational to social-emotional support and enrichment to community cultivation..this school was a gem. Sadly, the Beaverton School District mislead the people in stealing Bond money to build a 'Super School' in Raleigh Hills (magical 52 million taken from retrofit and rebuild for schools like Mckay). This is why BSD is lagging on all metrics in educational outcomes..they don't listen and want students to be nothing more than numbers for profit for the Union. This is the last school year for McKay citing dropping enrollment and needing to restructure the resources where they are needed most (BSD). Strange since Greenway is very similar to McKay in both Teacher/Student Ratio as well as total Student Body Size and Demographic...hmmThis does not reflect on McKay or its teachers para educators nor leadership staff whom have made this school and the experience of countless students overr the years the best and I encourage the staff, parents and everyone else involved to VOTE OUT the entirety of the BSD Board and to fight tooth and nail to install local people whom are not SEIU drones.Regards,Jonathan Lockwood

Teachers have always been warm and supportive to kids and helped them achieve their goals. Have always been supportive with special education. Have several family activities like carnival, family art night, raffle tickets, etc.. My kid always looks forward to going to school and doesn’t like missing even a single day.

I had a great time going to that school, So fun in 5th grade!

My children have attended this school since 1st grade and kindergarten respectively. My senior this year is the portrait of a graduate as described and aspired to by the school. My freshman is also thriving. The school focuses on Classical Christian education - grammar, logic and rhetoric. Both my children are well rounded, good friends to their peers, well spoken, and talented students who can engage any adult, think through any challenge and take a position. I appreciate the biblically based education, particularly in light of the world we live in today. They are staffed with excellent instructors, particularly in choir, art, humane letters and rhetoric. We have enjoyed close friendships with other families and while I walked through divorce, the school continued to support our family to the fullest.

While my children also attended St. Cecilia for secondary school, the Middle School experience cemented my satisfaction with the academic education at St. Cecilia. Children are taught the study skills and foundations to thrive academically in high school. The school mirrors the faith based values of our household and it provides the environment to foster self confidence, community and a love of learning.
