[quote=Anonymous]It's fine. Oldest recently graduated from McKinley. Pros: - They collect phones. This isn't the case everywhere, and not having phones as a distraction in the classroom helped our kid succeed. - If your kid is truly a "STEM kid", they will get to do things at a level that they can't elsewhere in DC. Another poster already commented on the robotics team. There are great internship opportunities too. - Safe. Fewer fights than our DCPS middle school, but that makes sense (application schools would have far fewer fights, I'd imagine. I doubt data like this is public.) Cons: - Not impressed with college counseling. - AP pass rates are very low. Our kid passed their tests, but there wasn't a ton of strong peer engagement in these advanced classes. The school makes all students take at least two AP classes to graduate, so my kid was often in AP classes with kids who really didn't want to be there. [/quote]
