"This is a great school. The parent involvement is amazing, and I believe our child is learning far more about so many things than children in other districts, like LAUSD. However, our child had a problem with bullying for two years in a row, by the same child. We brought this up to administration several times, nothing was ever accomplished. We had meetings with the principal, and still nothing happened. Although the principal was never directly rude and didn't act like she wanted to ignore the subject, the attitude our child received from her, the rest of the office staff, and our child's teacher almost immediately changed, negatively. So much so that other parents approached me about it, asking questions. With the bullying issue never properly assessed and handled by the principal, we decided to talk with the other family involved directly. Once we did that, the bullying stopped eventually. Thank goodness the other child's parents were understanding and helped us work out the issues so that our child could once again feel comfortable. At no thanks to the school and principal, our child now feels safe at McKinley."

"Just finishing up my daughter's 2nd grade year at McKinley, and we are still very happy with all that is happening. The staff & teachers are exceptional, and the parent involvement is small but mighty!"

"I appreciate the sense of community and the strive for excellence that McKinley fosters. My child is very happy at McKinley as am I. How sad to read the negative postings, such a disservice to a dedicated group of faculty and parents. Parents searching for a school also have a right to read reviews from parents that are very pleased and highly recommend this school."

"Thank you to the April 23rd parent who posted about the bullying issue at McKinley and posts being deleted from this website. My previous post about bullying and the inefficiency of response from the school is one of those that has been deleted. I have found McKinley to be a typical public school with average offerings for my children academically. We have also had problems with bullying and unkindness from many students. I certainly have gained a much greater appreciation for our previous school during our time at McKinley. The Great School's website was a resource I used in helping me choose where to live when we moved to SoCal. A big move for my family with many important considerations. It is an injustice to delete postings that may help families who may use this website as a reference. It is unfair, immature and irresponsible to have postings removed that may help someone in the important decision of what school they place their child."

"McKinley is a terrific school, in an incredible community, with a diverse student body, many wonderful teachers, and an excellent principal and staff. The vast majority of families are thrilled to be at McKinley. We've been at McKinley for four years now, and our children have been well educated and well served. They feel safe and have never had any issues with their peers. Submitted by a parent"
