William McKinley Middle School is a Great School, Feb 09, 2010 |
| I am now in 7th grade at McKinley and it's the best school ever. Ms. Gree, Ms. Votinelli, and other teachers care about you and your grades. They might be annoying but it's because they care. Hope you go to McKinley!- Andrew |

IS 259 Contained the best years of my life., Sep 16, 2009 |
| I am a high school student now and I went to William McKinley Middle School for three years. It is a very wonderful school. Sure there may be some bad words on the desk and one fight every 6 months, but the school overall is very helpful. I learned SOO much I never knew and I love ALL my teachers. They all cared and they really knew how to teach. All of you people out there must check out this school. It ROCKS! |

J.H.S. 259 William McKinley Middle School is a Bad School, Aug 27, 2009 |
| Most of the students who painted the morals didn't care about their life & just wanted to get out of class. I know one girl just stands there and walks around. I saw the art teacher do most of the work. The lunch room is dirty, this is they are supposed to fix the auditorium & cafeteria. Thank God!! There was a food fight on the last day of school('09). It involved all the 8th graders. Everyone had a least spaghetti one their pants. The classrooms are disgusting, kids write bad words on the desks, chalkboard(last period). I didn't learn much. In 6th grade I was always being bullied, & in 7th. Its crowded not because people liked the school, but because it was the only one around the area! One time two teachers were caught kissing in the hallways during students passing. My English teacher just sat & probably taught like 10 real lessons out of the whole year. She assigned long h.w. & didn't even check it. She's mostly instant messaging her friends/eating/or on her laptop. She just cares about fashion. The school is extending to the school yard. More space yay! There is always a fight in the cafeteria, & it's worse is Fort Hamilton H.S. I didn't see the principal get involved much. The nurse was kinda mean, one of the gym teachers slept constantly/everyday/even everyone was watching him. But I have to admit, there are a couple of caring teachers out there if you're nice with them. Good luck if you decide to come to this school!! |

IS 259 McKinley Middle School, May 15, 2009 |
| I just love McKinley! I am a 6th grader there since this is my first year. The school trips are just great and the teachers are very caring. Although all the teachers are great, I personally love Mrs. Zobgy and Ms. Applegate. Mrs. Zogby is my English teacher and Ms. Applegate is my dance teacher. Another great thing about the school is that there are a lot of performing art activities and there are so many that I can't even name them all! All those comments about how McKinley is a poor school and that the students are bad don't believe them. Our school was graded an "A" and we do a lot of community service!!! This school is great!!! |

great school, Nov 28, 2008 |
| I went to IS 259 William McKinley Middle School and I gained a great amount of prosperity. Teachers are great and so is the administration. I wish I can stay there for the rest of my school life. I am now in my second year in high school and miss the back bone of this school holding me up. I was the president of the school and loved it. Thank you IS 259. Send your children here. |

Real Opinion, Sep 18, 2008 |
| THIS PLACE IS A HELLHOLE. Don't send your kids here, this is where morals come to die, and evil preys on the innocent. The gangs around here are actually quite dominant and fights are encouraged. There are only about a handful of competent teachers, and that would include Ms. Murphy, but a handful does not compensate for the remaining useless bunch. |

Great experience!!!, Jul 06, 2008 |
| William McKinley Middle School is a great school. I was an 8th grader in the school and it was great. The teachers are very caring, the principle and assistant principles are magnificent. I worked on an art project in the school that was a mural created on the walls of the school. This project gave me and my fellow students to appear on the TV news twice and on a couple of news papers. The school is crowded and somewhat poor, but, however, it is a great school that I will never forget. I will always be proud to be a graduate of William McKinley!!! |
