[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Original Poster here: Thank you for those who have shared your experiences! Some of the discussion seems to have devolved into some fight over stats/standards. Would love to return to my original question and hear from those who have personal experience with this school - what's your impression? We have some options although our inbound is terrible and from what I have generally heard McKinley sounds like a solid option. My kiddo is a good student but not particularly a STEM whiz kid. So I don't need this to be the Harvard of STEM. I want a decent school, with nice teachers, some non-STEM options (so he's well rounded), and overall happy friendly student body. (Note, we have recently moved back to DC so I don't have a lot of context or contacts to talk with about this.)[/quote] My son attends (and I posted above) and I think McKinley Tech is all of the above and more. Big enough to have lots of extra curriculars. They have acting and art as part of the school day if they want it. The staff have been uniformly helpful and kind. Honestly, our expectations have been exceeded. [/quote]
