Mckinley Elementary School

Yakima sits in the heart of Washington's agricultural region, and McKinley Elementary reflects the working-class, tight-knit character of its surrounding neighborhood. Families looking for a school with strong science programming relative to its peers may find something to appreciate here, even as English and math scores indicate the school is still working to close some gaps. It's a community where school staff and local families tend to know each other well, and for parents willing to stay engaged in their child's learning, that close-knit environment can make a real difference.
