McKinley Elementary School

My son is a kindergartener at McKinley and I’m watching him grow in so many ways daily. He is enrolled in the after school enrichment program as well as the language emersion — mandarin program. We thought it might be a bit overwhelming for him especially in his first year but he absolutely loves his teachers and friends. I love the community of motivated parents and principal who are the backbone of the school. We feel so lucky!

My daughter is in 3^rd grade at McKinley. As a single mom, with work, school and all the running around, I cant participate as much as I want to. I feel blessed to have teachers, afterschool staff and other parents offer to help out — it’s a great community and like another reviewer said, 5 stars doesnt do it justice. I feel that healthy living, acceptance, community, academics and independent thinking are nurtured in this school.

I couldn’t recommend this school more. We have the best school community one could ask for. Great students. The Principal, Teachers, and all other staff are amazing. We have a huge PTA full of hard working parents who come in before and after school, go to meetings, AND pull together the most amazing programs & events for our children. As mentioned before, the library is great! A huge seller for me on the tour, among other things. I currently have a 1^st grader attending and will soon be sending the next one along. I feel truly lucky to be a part of the McKinley Family and I know my children will be allowed and encouraged to flourish here. And five stars just really doesn’t do it justice…

We Love our school! What more could I say! My daughter is in 2^nd grade and my son is in 1^st grade and tthey both just Love love love there teachers! Also the library rocks! we have a «read a thon» every year and buy tons of new books. no dusty old out of date books here!

My son is in the first grade at McKinley. What a great school and wonderful community. We love it. I couldn’t be happier with our SF public school.

i went here for awhile. it was ok from what i remember.
i do remember loving the Friday sales of the ITS– IT ice creams, and the popcorn.
hated how they caught on to me feeling «sick» because i wanted to go home and watch sailor moon, i was a sneaky kid lol.
the bus ride home, to another school on church and something, or was it 16^th? the playground, the Olympics. my girl scout experiences, and heads up seven up!!! hated the little black chick on the bus, who would take my toys…
its just like any other elementary school, i did read though that they’re upping their music program??? anyways i was too young to remember anything else besides what i already mentioned, but yup
one more thing
see ya later alligator! after awhile crocodile!
