About the School

Schools provided these descriptions and may update them from year to year. Please contact the school directly for the most current information.

McKinley-Thatcher Elementary is a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School located in the Platt Park neighborhood of south Denver. We serve children ages four through fifth-grade and our families, students and staff value our deeply connected community and the impact that high-quality instruction has on student success. At McKinley-Thatcher, we foster a love of learning through experiential education, individualized approaches and supporting the growth of the whole child. Our students achieve academic excellence supported by teachers and staff who create 21st century learning environments and foster social emotional development. In K-5th grades, our teachers specialize in teaching either literacy or math, science, and social studies. This model allows teachers to provide more individualized support for students and to implement more experiential learning opportunities. McKinley-Thatcher has four school values that exemplify our belief about what is most important for every learner: Be Kind and Considerate, Challenge Yourself, Work Together and Lead by Example. Family members are invited to serve on our Collaborative School Committee, which is responsible for making budgeting and operational decisions, and to partner with our school through our strong PTA, which connects new and prospective community members to resources, champions fundraising campaigns, and helps support a strong enrichment program. At McT, we inspire authentic, joyful learners who are ready to explore the world!

Unified Improvement Plan: Priority Performance Challenges

Unified Improvement Planning was introduced in 2009 to streamline improvement planning components of state and federal accountability requirements. Based on the Colorado Achievement Plan for Kids (SB212-08), the primary purpose of improvement planning is to align efforts to: Ensure all students exit the K-12 education system ready for post-secondary education, and/or to be successful in the workforce, earning a living wage immediately upon graduation. The School Finder only contains one portion of the UIP, each school's Priority Performance Challenges. To access any school's complete UIP, you can visit: School and District UIPs
