K-12 -- America's Favorite School

Ralph R. McKee CTE High School offes a rigorous academic and hands on environment, in which students build to their potential. It offers an academic diploma with and career and technical education certification. In the Construction Technology Institute, graduates of McKee are eligible for lucrative apprenticeships through the partnerships with the New York City MTA and Construction Skills 2010, career and technical institutes and competitive four year colleges. Pre-Engineering and computer aided Drafting Institute graduates receive an academic diploma and CTE certification and are prepared for prestigious four year colleges like Dartmouth and Stevens Institute. In the Automotive Institute, each student is immersed in state of the art equipment to prepare students for the increasingly computer driven automotive industry. In CISCO, students learn computer networking and gain invaluable experience connecting with professionals who are in the field. At McKee, students gain the academic content, critical thinking skills and are encouraged to meet and exceed expectations, more than they ever imagined. The Soaring Seagulls (the school mascot) fly strong because "Learning is Key at McKee." Everyday, the school community works together to make the vision a reality.

The trade education opportunities (CISCO Systems, automotives, carpentry/woodworking) and academics make for a powerful preparation for life in the real world. And, therefore, the possibilities loom large.

I like the friendly atmosphere.

I am so happy with my daughters's education that they have received so far at McKee. The staff is open and honest about what is going on with your child. They call home for good things along with of course the bad stuff too.

Great teachers

All the career and tech people are friendly and helpful, willing to go out of their way to help you solve a problem. The students have career goals which help them focus on graduation.

It is a upcoming great school, for people either wanting to go on to college or get a job after graduating. Faculty is fantastic, willing and able to participate in a students life to keep them intact and working towards a goal

Ralph McKee is a great because they have small classes and great teachers that are willing to help you to become whoever you want to be.Funny teachers who are down to earth and share their stories with the students to make them feel comfortable and know that teachers too went through the same struggles they are facing right now. I LOVE MCKEE.
