历史

学校创立于1911年2月,[3] 麦考学校承担了一部分来自 Binney 学校的学生,第一校长（Louis Nusbaum）是Horace Binney学校旧校长。[4]

麦考在1920到1930年代之间因其“再教育学校”而出名，它是一个为14岁以上至16岁年龄段学生所开设的学校，每周去一次学校，那时的义务教育到14岁为止。[4]

1950年代，麦考学校为学生提供以英语为第二语言的教学课程，这是美国公立学校提供的首例。1953年，参加学校ESL课程的学生超过两百人，而且来自二十多个国家[4]。

《黑人企业》 （Black Enterprise）杂志称，大约在1964年时，麦考学校“以黑人学生为主，被人们所忽视，几乎不配称为一个学校”。[5]这也反映了学校所在社区当时的状态 -- 同一杂志称其为“城市中最令人沮丧的贫民区之一”。[5]从那时起，富裕的居民开始把孩子送到其他学校。[4]到1976年，这个街区逐渐贵族化，以白人为主了。[5]

In the mid-1960s it received an auditorium and gymnasium,[4] and prior to 1976 it received a renovation. By then the neighborhood became mostly white and wealthy.[5] By 1976 the school became one of the highest-ranked schools in Philadelphia; the student body of McCall reflected the wealthier and white majority demographics.[6] According to Black Enterprise, the demographic and academic transformation of McCall was a demonstration of the phrase "The better the neighborhood, the better the schools."[5]

By September 1998 the school, which had 650 students, established a bilingual English-Chinese program to serve Chinese American students, and that month it began hiring teachers fluent in both languages to teach core subjects. At the time 25% of the students were Chinese, and the number of Chinese students had doubled in the previous two-year period.[1] Russell Scott Smith of Edutopia wrote that in 2004, compared with other schools in Philadelphia, "McCall already had a fairly good reputation for academic rigor and safety" and that by 2009 it had improved even more.[7] In 2012 Kristen A. Graham of The Philadelphia Inquirer stated that McCall was one of "the district's stronger neighborhood schools".[8]

In 1976 Black Enterprise stated that there is more emphasis on saving historical buildings in Philadelphia compared to other major American cities; it stated that "in any other large American city it would probably have been torn down by now."[11]

The school received a "cybrary" (cyber library) in 2007—a library facility with 22 computers and materials in Mandarin Chinese financed by fundraisers and bake sales.[12]

交通

In 1993 the school district began a school bus route between Chinatown and McCall.[14] The school is 1.4英里（2.3千米） away from the furthest point of Chinatown.[15] The district was not required to install the route, but parents advocated for the route because they believed that traffic at Market Street and Washington Square endangered their children. When the district proposed to eliminate the route in 1994, parents complained.[14]
