This school, for better or for worse, has an outrageous amount of drama.

Some of the kids here are... interesting (most of the kids)

And the language and slurs you hear on a day to day basis is absolutely insane

But overall this school is really fun and as long as you aren't in the drama I would recommend.

Doesn’t follow 504 plans. Doesn’t listen to neurodivergent students. A kid slapped me in the face when I was here and Jennings (current principal. Not calling her ms. Because she was horrible) asked me what I did to provoke it (and blamed it on me). Teachers can’t teach. Only good people are a few history teachers and the security guard and nurse.

As a parent of a new 6th grader my experience so far has been great. From day one, the teachers have shown incredible care and dedication to making sure my child feels supported, both academically and emotionally. They genuinely go above and beyond to help students transition smoothly into middle school life. The sense of community here is wonderful—parents, teachers, and staff all work together to create a welcoming and inclusive environment. As with any middle school there are concerns with interactions between children but we so far have not had any negative experiences. My child has made great friends and is excited to go to school each day. We are so grateful to be part of such a kind and caring school community!

We have two children at McClure this year and we've been very happy with this school. They actually like going to school, which is tough to say for middle schoolers! Teachers have been engaging and they make time to meet with us if we have questions or concerns. They are also quick to communicate with us about our childrens' specific needs. The PTSA is motivated and has worked hard to build our school community and fundraise for the kids. The location of the school feels safe and community-oriented!

The Queen Anne and Magnolia neighborhoods offer something that most boroughs in the city don't offer: a sense of community and belonging. The kids from these areas have grown up with each other either in elementary school, community sports and other activities. The parents are also largely connected with each other in some form or fashion and they are heavily involved in their childrens' lives. This community-feel helps shape the McClure kids into smart, thoughtful and responsible you g adults. The school prides itself on its inclusiveness, its safety and the success of its students. The class sizes are small compared to other big-city schools which means more one-on-one time for those who need it. We're very proud of our school and the service it offers these kids.

I am so glad we chose McClure. I feel it was the best choice for my daughter. I feel they went beyond my expectations in helping my daughter. Teddi Constantine is phenomenal. She genuinely cared about my daughter. Also Kimberly Cecchini very caring. Teddi arranged several meetings between staff members and me to work towards her progress. My daughter really has enjoyed her time here.

Pretty much every parent that's given this school a poor rating has already mentioned the concerns and negatives about McClure Middle School in Seattle. I want to add that this school campus is not safe. They perpetuate hate and bullying and have little to no consequences when students violate school rules and bullying laws. They don't even have a formal escalation process for when things get violent between students. Furthermore, the administration here is hands down the worst within the entire Seattle Public School system (Conner and Murray). They have a long track record with the students for being dismissive and cruel.

You will be mesmerized by the picturesque scenery and beauty of upper Queen Anne but don't let that fool you as this Middle School is far from the beauty of the community. You will have many regrets if you send your child here. If you're able to afford it, send your child to a private Middle School and if you must keep them in public opt for Hamilton or Salmon Bay or any other middle school but McClure.

We all work hard and attempt to do everything we can to ensure our kids get the best education and best care and support during these crucial and critical tween/teen years. Know that you will gain nothing of value from this school and will only suffer from ongoing stress due to the lack of investment in your child success and well being, starting from the top (principal) down.

Excellent school. My child has had a very positive middle school experience. The teachers and staff are knowlegeable, kind, and caring. The school offers great curriculum and challenges students to think critically and self advocate. We feel very fortunate to send our eldest to McClure and look forward to sending our two younger children as well.

My daughter enrolled at McClure half way through 7th grade and had a welcoming, positive experience. Middle school is tough, period. And moving partway through 7th grade can be devastating. However, we were delighted that my daughter did not experience the sterotypical negativity and drama associated with middle school and 7th grade. Instead, she was made to feel welcome and included. She made many friends. And loved her classes, especially her film and design classes.

We had to leave McClure after a year. There were a couple of very impressive teachers but more mediocre or awful ones. My son was being bullied by other students and felt there wasn't a culture that valued learning. The principal was defensive and unhelpful when we tried to resolve the issues. My son has thrived in his new school. Several other families I know moved from McClure for similar reasons. The school district really needs to intervene in this school.

It has been a positive three years for my child at McClure. We like the size of the school compared to the other middle schools in the city. We like the positive atmosphere of the school and felt like there was a reasonable amount of homework. We have been impressed with most all of the teachers, the counselors and the principal. One child is moving on this year and our next is moving in- even though there is an option for HCC school, we are going with McClure again and think the smaller size will also be a good fit for our next middle schooler.

This school has been absolutely horrendous for the entirety of the time my child has spent there. I have noticed an extremely strong focus on control and homework, other than community building and learning/preparation. The school looks quite bad on the inside with stains on the ceiling and what looks to be a red substance on the corner of one of the inner pillars, it does not seem to have good upkeep. The teachers are decent, but overall the principal and administration at this school has no focus on students and more focus on control.

We have removed our child from this school. We wish we had done so sooner. The principal – S. Connor – has a very limited focus and goal for “her” school. She has eliminated any hint of honors type classes and dumbed-down the curriculum in the process. She has no interest in parent feedback or engagement and is quick to shout down any criticism. It is sad because the school is located in a great neighborhood with families who are committed to the community. I have to sadly recommend you pick a different school for your child. We wish we had.

First day of 6th grade I was very excited to start middle school. Within a week Mcclure had changed that for me. It was impossible to concentrate with the amount of kids that didn't want to learn and the lack of control from the teacher. Through my three years I can assure you I didn't learn a single thing in my science classes until 8th grade when I had a better teacher. As much as I hate to say it I often felt unsafe in PE because there were times when students would do foolish things in the locker rooms and there was frequent violent threats. During the 3 years I witnessed 4 students with knives which was extremely frightening. In general whenever someone asks me about my Middle School experience I can only use one word and that is "Sketchy " . At times there would be teachers who I thought were very good and I learned very well with, however they would never stay at the school for more than a year or two while I was there. The old principal was not bad and thought she did her job well, but the new principal (at least while I was there) was trying to over control the students and felt like there was absolutely no feeling of joy in the school. Structurally the school is very old and there are water stains on the ceiling. The honors classes were basically locked down from any students that weren't already in honors from elementary school. Whenever I told my math teacher I wanted to move to honors he would simply tell me I couldn't do it and never told me how I could get there. It wasn't until I brought my dad in to talk to him that things finally started moving forward but long story short by then it was too late and I was off to High School. My first year of High School (Bishop Blanchet, a great school by the way) I realized that Mcclure had not prepared me at all for High school. After seeing the classroom environments at Blanchet (full of students who wanted to learn) I realized really how non-productive the classes at Mcclure were.

Posted: May 10, 2016

We had high, but reasonable, expectations of this school, but have been remarkably disappointed.
1. A tenured teacher (with PhD) who was clearly inebriated at initial orientation and spent a semester showing students sports videos in a class touted as showing the relationship of science/math to jobs.

2. A "special education" teacher who admittedly insulted a special needs student at least twice and, in a phone conversation stated "I don't know what I am doing."

3. A principal (Shannon O'Connor) who is disengaged and has been invisible since pre-school year orientation.
4. If your child is anything other than a privileged, upper-middle class child without any unique needs at all, run away from this school because they do not want you.

Posted: May 10, 2016

Very mixed bag this school. 3 of my child's current teachers are very good (one excellent). Two are utterly incompetent, including one who stated he "doesn't know what he is doing" and another whose lesson consist of showing videos of sports figures and reality TV shows.

Posted: May 10, 2016

This school openly caters to mainstream, conventional students (and their parents) and denigrates those who do not fit that "norm."

Posted: June 15, 2015

We really appreciated the way the former principal did not put all the focus on homework and endless rules. The new principal seems to have taken the opposite approach. My kids report that she seems to have no interest in leaving her office and interacting with the students. When we have tried to contact her, she did not even reply to us but sent a four word email to a teacher that said "take care of this" cc'ing us. We just went to the promotion ceremony for our 8th grade daughter. 90% of it was focused on a few students. The feeling was not one of community and celebrating the achievement of all who were there, but only the achievements of a select few.

Posted: March 12, 2015

Super school.Mine is moving onto Ballard and is ready to go, in a good way as in prepared and looking for new experiences.
Some outstanding staff, in fact I liked every single one that have I met from principal to teachers to custodians, office staff, coaches, lunchroom staff. They all care about the kids and helping them be the best kids they can be.
Is it an academic powerhouse like SGS or Lakeside or SCDS? No. McClure seems to be about getting ready for a successful high school experience which is about having emotional development as well as good study skills. My feeling is my child's class will hit the ground running and for those going to Ballard, will make the Beavers proud.

Posted: November 24, 2014

We have been pleasantly surprised by McClure. The teachers particularly the language arts (Wizenhunt) and math (Jennings) have been impressive. The music program is really coming along and the recently new choir teacher is fabulous. A great benefit for our child has been that the school is very small and as a parent you get to know the teachers and administration. Communication is good. Having a child who needs more attention than most, this has been a great asset. I love that my child can walk to school and grab ice cream or shop in the village afterwards. The parent support for this school is very strong. As parents who looked at private school initially, I am glad we made the choice to give our neighborhood school a chance. It has been a very good experience all around.

I am currently a 6th grader at McClure. It is an amazing school and they make sure you feel welcome with all the WEB events and fun activities. I remember when I dropped some color pencils and 2 or 3 kids came rushing to help me pick them up when there was only 1 minute left till class started. The teachers are super helpful and nice. There are so many things you or your child can learn from this school!

Posted: August 27, 2014

I have a 6th Grader just entering Mcclure this year. At this point, I can only comment on what I have seen in terms of the activities focused on new student orientation. All such activities have been excellent and have illustrated the growing strength of the PTA at the school. The WEB program (which mentors new 6th graders using 8th graders) has been impressive especially when I compare it to my own junior high experience years ago. Most of my interactions with teachers and staff have been really positive. Mcclure serves a bunch of tough customers. High income, high achieving Amazonians, Microsofties, Doctors, Lawyers, Architects etc. All of whom have the means to pull their kids and send them to private school. (Many have done this already) Middle school is tough. As a teacher, you have to really love this age group who can be really loud and annoying. Many parents (myself included) carry irrational fears of middle school based on our own upbringing. So far, I feel really lucky to be able to send my child to Seattle's smallest middle school.

Posted: July 26, 2014

I am currently a student at McClure going into the 8th grade, and I've seen some disturbing and traumatizing things at McClure this school year. I remember the first day of 6th grade there were 8th graders yelling profanities in the hall way right in front of teachers and nothing was done about it. The students here are out of control, and have no discipline. There have been several violent fights outside of the school between students, and this year everyone watched a boy punch another boy to the ground and put him in a headlock. There are also a lot of problems with organization and most of my teachers that I had this year were lazy, and act like they don't care about their job. Don't send your child to this school!! I have picked more bad habits than good, and if I could go back in time I would have gone to a different school. The only reason why I stay is because of the few amazing friends that I've found at McClure.

Posted: July 19, 2014

McClure just completed its 4th year as a neighborhood school and is a great place to send your kids. The parents, staff, school district and local business community have really stepped up and are supporting McClure students more than ever before. Financial support has increased dramatically - helping fund all new students computers and many other student and classroom needs. The student leadership program is the best in the district, the library and librarian are top notch, focus on science, math, language arts, video production, choir, band, orchestra, and exploratory classes just gets better and better. Many more parents are volunteering than ever before, jumping right in starting in 6th grade, no longer "waiting" but stepping right up and joining our committed, growing community focused on building the best little middle school in the district. A couple 7th grade teachers may be (past) due for retirement, but overall the staff is outstanding and focused on educational excellence and encouraging kind, thoughtful behavior and learning in and outside the classrooms. The new principal is an outstanding communicator and absolutely focused on improving academics & community.

Posted: April 18, 2014

McClure is definitely a school of contrasts. My 7th grader is very smart, sensitive, and doesn't have any behavioral issues. He prefers to be a teachers assistant when he can. I trust his reports to me about significant numbers of students in his classes who don't care about learning or rules and who act out every day in ways I can't even imagine being tolerated. The teachers, while well meaning and dedicated, seem to have no tools at their disposal to cope with these ridiculous behavioral issues. This suggests to me that they either lack the training or commitment from the administration or both. I am not sure which it is. I myself am an educator and have an advanced degree and I am appalled at the low level of instruction he receives. They seem to be stuck on simple topics for weeks and with classes often being disrupted by the behaviorally challenged students, I have seen little substantive learning take place. I worry that he will have difficulties when he goes to high school (unless the high school is just as challenged). The teachers seem to hold back, designing their instructional choices to lowest level in the class instead of seeking high achievement. Very disappointing.

Posted: April 17, 2014

I am an eighth grade student at McClure, and I can say that the past three years have been awful, I am a disruptive student in general, but that is only due to the fact that in the classroom the teachers have no power, or don't care. The only reason I wanted to go to McClure is because of all my friends, and next year I am going to ballard and I am worried that I will fail AP classes because of the learning at McClure.

Posted: April 26, 2013

The review below mine is contradictory stating that "student behavior issues...are profound and inumerous [sic]" and that "kids are mostly well-behaved". Which is it? I believe this reviewer's grammar and spelling speaks volumes. McClure, Seattle's smallest middle school, is excellent and the best school at which I've taught. Students receive more attention than those at larger middle schools, some of which house nearly a thousand students. Teachers know their student and families. The PTA is very active and helpful, raising tens of thousands of dollars to support student learning. McClure uses first-rate curriculum with fidelity. Language arts classes use reading and writing workshop, a highly effective curriculum that promotes authentic literacy. Math, science, and social studies also have strong curriculum. Dedicated teachers work together closely to help students. These are the most polite, respectful, and talented students with whom I've ever worked. Many produce high-school-level writing. When behavior issues arise, which is inevitable in any middle school, administration responds quickly and appropriately. If I had children, they would attend McClure Middle School.

Posted: February 5, 2013

Yes, the school sits in a wealthy neighborhood, but that doesn't mean that the school is necesarily successful. This school is run poorly, and has a Principal & Counseling/Student Discipline staff that are not proficient in curbing student behavior issues--which are profound and inumerous!. As a substitute-teacher, I have worked all Seattle Schools. Take my word for it, don't send your child to this one. Some great teachers, but dealing w/the admin. will only give you and child headaches and a distasteful experience. School has great potential--kids are mostly well-behaved, but until admin. is removed, no progress can be made!

Posted: January 24, 2013

My son has gone to McClure for two years and is currently in 7th Grade. I agree with a previous poster who thought that there were some really good teachers intermixed with alot of mediocre teachers. I'm not sure if it's burnout, or inadequate teaching/organization skills, but some of these teachers are very frustrating! My son turns in papers to several of his teachers who then can't find the assignments! It's not ALL his teachers, it's the same two. It is really frustrating. My son doesn't really complain; he just mentions how confusing and disorganized some of his teachers are. My personal standard is, if something isn't working, change the way you do it! It just seems it is easier to blame the students and not admit their system may not be working. On a positive, the new language arts teacher ROCKS!

Posted: October 27, 2012

I am currently a student at McClure and I love it. The school is really small (approximately 450 kids total) which allows everyone to know everyone. They are extremely disorganized though, class sizes are uneven, at the beginning of the 2012-2013 year, one algebra class had 48 kids while another had only 18 kids; at least 75% of the students received schedules that had a missing class period and two of the same class. Counselors and office staff are very unresponsive and none of the staff have the same views on ANYTHING. Some teachers are downright horrible, parents and students signed a petition to get her kicked out but nothing happened & technology is very slow. Otherwise, the school is friendly and had lots of nice art and sport programs and programs for advanced learning.

Posted: August 31, 2012

Our child goes to McClure and likes the school. There are some excellent teachers there who are enthusiastic about their subjects, who take an interest in each child and do a great job. Some teachers are better than others; the quality of the experience for each class really depends on how good the teacher is, and how much he or she cares. The math and english teachers have been especially good. The principal's doing a good job and we've had good experiences whenever we've spoken with her about our child. It's a fine neighborhood school and we've been pleased with the whole experience.

Posted: June 6, 2012

McClure is a mediocre school in a great neighborhood. It has been "up and coming" for over 10 years, but never gets any better. The problem is the leadership, particularly the principal. The principal has no leadership and blames every problem on somebody else, and does little to improve the school. Class sizes are huge and very unevenly distributed. excuse: district didn't fund us. (It's funded exactly like every other school in Seattle, and sits in a neighborhood which richly supports ALL the other schools.) Discipline is terrible and incredibly inequitable. Large class sizes make that worse. Bullying is rampant, as are suspensions. excuse: We have to do it that way. Teacher turn over is tremendous, it lost nearly half it's teachers last year. excuse: Teachers are bad. Really? Even the ones hired by the principal? Arts have been all but eliminated in favor of things like computer literacy. Many teachers are actually very good. There are also quite a few duds. In some classes kids do next to nothing at all, even in core subjects. But the teacher turnover isn't getting rid of the weak teachers, it simply is churning through good ones leaving instability behind.

Posted: September 15, 2011

Everyone knows that teachers need smaller classes and more time with students but McClure really shows it, in the 2011-2012 school year they only had 1 teacher of each core class for each grade. While the majority of the teachers are very good at what they do, they lack the time and energy to do it. The schools bullying policy is atrocious with problems going unnoticed unless someone reports it to the councilors, and even then very little is likely to be done.

Posted: September 15, 2011

There were some excellent teachers at McClure and some frankly atrocious teachers. Most teachers seemed overwhelmed with their workload and seemed to view parent communications as an inconvenience. The biggest problem with Mc Clure is the lack of leadership on the part of the Principal. Bullying was a big problem. Large problems were ignored and there was an overreaction to small conflicts between students. Overall if we could do it again we would not have sent our student to McClure. Hopefully they will get their act together, the community is counting on it.

Posted: July 27, 2011

There are many teachers at McClure who are just wonderful! (Though a few who are OK) The music program is excellent with a very good teacher. For transitoning the new 6th graders they have a very good program called WEB (where everybody belongs). It teaches the kids many new skills, getting comfortable with the school, and the 8th grade WEB leaders become their first middle school buddies.

Our family attended the open house event on March 24, 2011. We live on Queen Anne and have a 4th grader at John Hay School so we were learning about and touring McClure School for the first time. Overall the school seemed just OK and I worry about 3 mediocre years there. The competent and engaging Language Arts teacher was the highlight. The Science teacher was enthusiastic and hands-on. The other teachers we saw were just OK. The principal's response to a parent's question about PTA involvement and fund-raising was disappointing because she seemed to be saying that students don't really want their parents to be involved much any more (sigh..this may be true), and beyond purchasing a some specific equipment items (her example was music stands), the school was doing alright and she understands how growing teens will consume more of a family's funds. I wonder if she realizes that Hay & Coe parents tend to have the time, funds and interest to make their child's public school the best it can be. This is a huge opportunity for community relationship building with the QA neighborhood, as well as improving the vibe and atmosphere of the school. Hopefully she'll think big!

I agree the school does little to communicate what needs to be done. Especially for 6th graders that are transitioning. Some of the teachers are even mean. I do not recommend this school. They actually suggested that my young daughter take the Metro bus alone. I am appalled. I will try to get my child in private school next year. She was at the top of her class last year and this year is just awful so far.

The grade 6 class entering this school for 2011 is amazing. I just see tons of parent evolvement that is going to enable change and improvements especially with the new school plan in place. McClure is a queen anne school very local and convenient, safe surroundings. We met with the Math teacher and are very impressed. Our kid is doing excellent in math and I am not at all worried about the level of education he can achieve at McClure. See you all next year!!!

I keep hearing really great things about McClure and am so excited about how many of my son s friends from Coe will be attending next year. The level of parent involvement at Coe elementary is outstanding, and with so many students from Coe s 5th grade class attending McClure next year, the school can only get better. The open house for incoming 6th graders was very informative and I was really impressed by the principal and all of the teachers I met. My neighbor s son is an 8th grader at McClure and she s very happy with their ability to provide academic challenge to her son whose IQ is off the charts. I m looking forward to seeing even more positive changes in this school and am glad my son will be a part of it.
