Open Quote Berlin McKinney has shown a lot of progress in recent years. There have been several parents and teachers involved with making sure kids have a lot of fun activities for them to do outside of their school work. They have several programs that help kids as you can see on the social media pages. Close Quote

Open Quote I feel that Berlin McKinney is an excellent school and I am thankful that my child is a student at this school. The teachers show a true care and concern for the children and they want to see their students succeed.
Personally, I feel the main reason Berlin has slipped in the rankings us due to poor attendance. If students are in class and learning then it will also bring up test scores. It is impossible to learn if the student is not in class. Close Quote
