McKinley Elementary School

This has been and continues to be a great school!

Having had the honor of attending Roosevelt Elementary myself, I can confidently say it is a school about laying a strong foundation for academics as well as life in general. It is a nurturing setting with caring teachers whose curriculum is directed at nudging and motivating children in a vast range of courses including reading, math, science, social studies, and fine arts. Roosevelt's holistic philosophy of learning prepares children not only for success in the next year level but for life in general.One of Roosevelt's biggest assets is its teachers. Most of Roosevelt's faculty regularly show professionalism, kindness, and actual enthusiasm for their children. They make every effort to enhance learning, stimulate curiosity, and provide an environment where children are respected and cared for. Many teachers take a step further to form close bonds with their children, ensuring each child understands they are an advocate for them.Though my experience at Roosevelt as a whole was decidedly positive, there was one teacher whose method was less inclusive, frequently displaying favoritism and engendering a spirit of unfairness amongst peers. That aside, however, it was not the norm. The majority of the staff regularly made efforts to make certain that students were equally treated and equally equipped with what it took for them to make it. Their professionalism and supportiveness served to offset that adversity, keeping in mind for me that one educator does not comprise an entire school. Roosevelt Elementary is, at its core, a community. It is a place where kids are prompted to explore their capabilities, teachers are invested in their futures, and lifelong friendships and memories form. Hindsight causes me to appreciate a strong academic foundation and set of individual values instilled there, and I do think Roosevelt is still an ideal location for kids to learn and grow.

Our family has two children currently enrolled at our Redeemer with a third on the way next year. We feel like we are truly part of the O.R. family. They go above and beyond.

We love everything about CK. The community is welcoming and warm - making everyone feel like they are part of a family. The academics are challenging in a loving and supportive way. The entire staff is caring and really strives for each child to be successful. Class sizes are great and allow for high level support of each kids needs. Catholicism is seamlessly woven into everyday life and the children are so excited to express their faith. Couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!

The school has closed for the 2023-24 school year.

St. John's provides a top-notch education. Teachers are very caring, creative in presenting materials. Students consistently rate highly in testing and graduate with preparation that gives them a jump-start in high school. Many extracurricular opportunity. Great community of people.
