Douglas McKay High School, known as McKay, is a public high school located in the North Lancaster neighborhood of Salem, Oregon, United States. Built in 1979, the school was named after Douglas McKay, former Governor of Oregon and United States Secretary of the Interior. A large oil portrait of him hangs near the main entrance, on a wall adjacent to the library.
Academics
In 2007, McKay was listed for the third consecutive year as one of Oregon's "Persistently Dangerous Schools" (as defined and mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act).[4] In October 2009 the school was removed from the No Child Left Behind safety watch list, due to the following not occurring: "more than 1 percent of their students brought a weapon to school, were expelled for violence or committed a violent crime on campus."[5][6]
In 2008, 71% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Out of 480 students, 343 graduated, 94 dropped out, two received a modified diploma, and 41 remained in school.[7][8]
