GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Some teachers are not the greatest but the good ones make up for it. I've found some incredible people to hang around and some teachers here are really supportive of everyone.

What I love about Mckinley High School is the different academies that we have. The academy that I'm in is the business one and we have access to a lot of field trips. Thanks to this I was able to go to places such as the lei conference. Also the counselors and college prep teachers are very helpful and nice.

Cons: -Many of the students are ESL and the teacher have to slow down in order to help them, which is awesome, but these...

The school is beautiful and stunning. I had two girls who went to this school, one who graduated a couple of years ago and one who is close to graduating and from my experiences with my daughters, they love the school, the students, the atmosphere.
