Feels like a private school. Small and efficient. My son is now in 1st grade and we have absolutely adored our teachers so far. It seems everyone is happy with their teachers. My son loves going to school. He says he wishes there were more school days and misses it on the weekends. We feel very lucky.

The parent involvement at McKinley is second to none. As a new parent I was so impressed at the level of parent involvement and organization of activities at McKinley. The fundraising is incredible and is a testament to the parent's interest and devotion to student learning. Given all the statewide budget cuts McKinley remains a diamond in the ruff. I am proud to say my daughter attends McKinley and it is a direct result of the principal the teachers the staff the parents and all of the wonderful children.

McKinley has been an excellent experience in so many ways. Strong teachers and a warm environment have taught my son to love going to school. Tight knit community has brought many friends into the lives of the whole family. And the AfterSchool program is exceptional - I am at work til after 5 30 but I know that my son is safe happy and engaged with people who care about him. My other son will be starting at the school soon and can't wait!

I love McKinley Elementary School!!! Take a tour of the school and you'll see why!

We have been more than pleased with McKinley from the first moment we entered the building. We left private school because our son was diagnosed with learning issues and the public school system offered so much more aid and support than the private school was willing or able to give. We were so fortunate that we were assigned to McKinley!! McKinley has given us more that we hoped. The teachers and support staff are engaged and proactive and we feel we have a team. Our son is happy here.

the teachers care and take the extra time that is needed to work with my child.

Sending your first child to school is stressful you want to make the right decision and you agonize over it-you worry will my child be safe? will he be happy? will the teachers engage and challenge him? Right away we knew McKinley was for us-the community is caring the teachers are supportive and the environment is nurturing. We couldn't ask for more!
