This school needs teachers who care enough to make a difference. When I went here in history class every test the teacher gave was open book. read the chapter & answer the box at the end. An idiot could pass, but sadly there were students who did not even bother. The teacher did not care she would just leave the class during a test . I personally had idiots copying my paper & still fail !! I graduated with an "A" in the class mind you, I was there to do my work(as easy as it was). She never did teach. She was there to draw a paycheck & go home.

I think this school is great. IF you are in great scholars, or gifted and talented. in the "traditional" classes. Those are ghetto, and have no respect or self control. But over all, mck is awesome. BYSM

I am in the gifted and talented program at McKinley Senior High. This 2012-13 school year, I am a sophomore. I transferred to this school from BRMHS, a magnet school, and was and am extremely pleased that I left. The magnet program is just not the same. If you are an identified gifted student, I STRONGLY recommend staying in the gifted program and coming to McKinley. All 5 of my G/T teachers exceed expectations. Each of my core classes is challenging; I learn something every day. (As of this school year, we have all 7 classes every day, in order.) Also - I have been in the Talented Visual Art program since 1st grade and have never loved it as much as I have at McKinley. It is worry-free, unlike the other Art programs I have been in at other schools. The lack of stress has an amazing effect on students' work - it is beyond belief. Unfortunately, I am only speaking for the gifted, talented, and great scholars programs. I have no idea what goes on in the traditional program at McKinley and therefore cannot comment on it. The only problems I have with the school have to do with the organization. At the beginning of the year, everyone's schedules are jumbled and, this year, it took 1.5 weeks to work it all out. At other schools, students are already taking tests on what they've learned during the time that we are simply trying to get our schedules fixed. If you want to go to McKinley, you are going to have to accept this kind of thing, as the school is extremely overcrowded and the administration scrambles to accommodate. Despite these downfalls, McKinley is worth it to me. I would urge every gifted/great scholars student to at least try it for a semester. I'm definitely staying for the rest of my high school years!
