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.

I've been very happy with the education my kids have received at McKinley so far. The teachers have all been excellent. My boys are good readers and have strong math skills. They have learned so much more than I did in elementary and middle school about science and social studies.

I am a very involved parent who has been involved in supporting parent engagement for years. This is the best school my children have attended so far. Couldn't be happier. They're both thriving.
