McKemy is a wonderful school with great teachers! This site needs to be updated because McKemy is a Highly Preforming School as of 2009 and is the only middle school in the Tempe 3 district that made AYP.
There is an excitment about learning and achieving at McKemy and it is increasing with every year. I have been very pleased with my child's experence and education recieved at McKemy.
Mr. Sturdivant is a wonderful principal who takes the time to know your child by name and incourages them to do their best.
You child will recieve a well rounded education along with choices of electives such as industerial arts, home ec, spanish, computers and strings, band and art.
