School Overview

The **McKeown School**, located at 70 Balch Street in Beverly, Massachusetts, serves as a central hub for the Beverly Public Schools district. Rather than operating as a traditional K-12 classroom site, the building functions primarily as the district’s administrative headquarters. It houses the offices of the Superintendent, the School Committee, and various departments responsible for the strategic oversight, human resources, and operational management of the surrounding Beverly schools.

The facility is an important landmark for the local educational community, acting as the primary point of contact for parents, staff, and community members seeking information regarding district policy, enrollment, and administrative support. While it is not a facility where students attend daily classes, it plays a vital role in coordinating the resources and curriculum development that support learning across all schools in the Beverly district.
