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.

My overall experience at this is school is very entertaining, I enjoy the oportunities held here. This school has great experiences and classes to learn from including the amount of people. I personally do not enjoy the amount of people but it's a great oportunity to socialize and get to know one another. The work is high depending on which STEM you choose.

My experience at McKinley Technology High School located in Washington D.C. so far has shaped me into becoming a stronger individual. This school has taught me how important it is to stay consistent and determined in order to reach where I desire to be. Coming to this school was definitely a major change from how middle school was.

At mckinkey we are able to be ourself and not worry about fitting into a crowd. The teachers expect the best from all students and prepare us for college. We may not be able to use certain devices at school like our personal devices but it pushes up to succeed.
