Overall Amazing! Love the diversity and the great communication amongst all staff and teachers! The kids are so kind to each other. The principal really has done an outstanding job with this school.
McKinley school offers students a well rounded academic experience while supporting development of character skills & high potential. A diverse campus that utilizes modern technology & project based learning, it is also the site of Petaluma's GATE Program. Principal Matthew Harris has valuable experience in education, is multi-lingual & genuine in his dedication to the school & all students who attend while successfully steering McKinley School towards high academic success. 5th Grade GATE teacher Mr. D.Z. (recently selected as Petaluma City Schools' 2015 Elementary Teacher of the Year) is a brilliant & innovative educator, who cares deeply for scholars as well as other educators he stands for. His ability to teach in ways that are engaging, fun and exciting pushes students to positively reach their highest potential. The NEW Petaluma Accelerated Charter School (Middle School) will no doubt flourish on this campus while under such superb leadership. McKinley School is a great choice for a quality education in Petaluma. The future of learning looks bright and exciting at McKinley School!
I am the parent of a 5th grade student at McKinley Elementary. This is a school to watch over the next several years! A diverse, warm, and caring community. Enthusiastic and innovative Principal, teachers, and staff. My daughter now jumps out of bed and is excited about what she is learning, and how she is learning. Spanish twice weekly. Super cool Aviation Club, lunch-time organized sports, and music program are some of the highlights. Spend some time in a classroom and you will see what I'm talking about. A true gem in Petaluma!
McKinley school has had impressive growth in the 2 years we have been there.It has a very small school feel with all the staff caring about the whole child. My son has grown academically as well as personally as the school really gives the kids a chance to find their voice and place in the community. The small class sizes, excellent teachers/administrators who encourage students to be their best self and the school diversity make this a special place in Petaluma.McKinely was a great choice for the Petaluma School District to put their GATE program.
