They blame you and yell at you for there pick up and drop off areas they dont have enough room for all the kids there system sucks for picking up your kids we figured we would try this school and it was a mistake the other schools had a much better pick up arange ment like Gegan Elementary School ca
Posted by a parent on 11/17/2025The parking/ pickup is just ridiculous no one ever moves up in the pick up line like they should, the people have CHILDREN trying to guide traffic when it should be an adults job dealing with vehicles and parents, other people coming to pick up think it’s okay to just park in whatever spot just open
Posted by a parent on 11/17/2025Overall This school was not great for my son may be for others but not mine.
Posted by a parent on 9/14/2017This is my son's second year of going to McKinley, and I really do love this school. I honestly can't believe that it is considered a regular public school. With how much dedication the teachers give to making sure each child is individually getting what they need, I almost expect it to be a charter
Posted by a parent on 11/7/2013My child has special needs. After coming from a school whee I had to scream to get help for my child, coming to McKinley was a breath of fresh air. Nor only did they listen to me, they contacted me with concerns of their own about the placement of my son. I have found the entire staff to be professi

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEver since Mrs. Brice left this school has gone down hill. The new principal lacks family engagement and fun for this school. Also bullying and extreme behaviors from students with lack of actual consequences is a huge problem. It is a major disruption for other kids who are eager to learn.We are halfway through the school year and neither of my children have been on any field trips. There’s no communication on any assembly’s the students had or in school events for the students. I am overall disappointed with this school and regret ever enrolling. The teachers are hit or a miss, you either have teachers who are willing to help students and overall are great. Or you get one that refuses to help a child with anything, including ones with an IEP.Parent Review5mo ago - Berry Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have not had the best experience at this school. A lot of low-income families that do not participate in their students lives or support learning in or outside of the classroom, makes it hard for those of us who do support these things. The parent group is not very approachable and seems to be clicky, not really welcoming newcomers to the group. The student population is a mix and there is an increase in students disrespecting their peersParent Review7y ago - Edison Elementary School

I have had my children in this school and have been through 3 principles. I can assure you that is the difference.Parent Review6y ago - Riverview Lutheran School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTop notch, strong development of community and support, Principal knows each kid and is omnipresent at the school before, during, and after and at special events. Our kids run to the school line most days to go in and teachers are very easy to communicate with and at times go out of their way to reach outParent Review6y ago
