Former Student Review | Rating:

"I am very happy with the new principal. She is patient, knowledgeable, and seems to be making positive changes at the school. It is clear that she has put the children first. I have talked to the parents in the neighborhood, and they are satisfied that she has great ideas and is making great strides to increase the test scores, attendance, and parent involvement, and reduce discipline problems. The new school year is starting off just great."

"The academic programs at this school are standard. The teachers are excellent; they personaify patience, integrity and dedication. Some of the students are disrespectful and disorderly only because there is no firm discipline and consequences from the parents."

"I also agree that the school is overcrowded. I do however have to disagree with some of the parents' comments about the teachers. As parents you have to assume some of the responsibility for your child's failures. Parents should ask themselves how involved are you in your child's education. I do not believe that there is any teacher working at McKay for the money because the pay isn't that great."

"This school is way too overcrowded. But there are some very good teachers there. The parents are not cooperative. MOST of the students are not willing to do their work and behave badly. I have almost all of my children attending there(4)and (3)aren't happy attending here. This school needs some real improvements."

"I think this school is to overcrowded. The teachers do not care about the student. This is just a job for them. I have a 3rd grader at this school. I heard that she was the best 3rd grade teacher in the school , but i have to find out differently."
