This school was rated in the top 10 in the Denver Public School system. Every time I walk into the school I feel as though I am in a small town and not the middle of a large city. The staff get to know you and your child as individuals and not just a number. The environmental education and the art programs are high importance to the SPREE (South Platte River Environmental Education) school. If you are thinking of sending your child here drop by I know the staff will welcome you with open arms. My daughter love Ms. Angie the ECE teacher so much she even wants to go to school on Saturday and Sunday. Heather Jacobson, ECE Parent
We chose McKinley-Thatcher because of its small size, friendly atmosphere, and environmental studies. The teachers are experts in their fields, and they really get to know and care about their students. I would say that both of our children have gained confidence as a direct result of their school experiences at McKinley-Thatcher. There is a very active P.T.A. at the school which works closely with school staff. A sampling of these shared activities includes a chili cook off/silent auction, a winter holiday craft activity fair and sale, a family turkey trot, and the South Platte River Environmental Education Field Trips. If you are looking for a small school with high educational standards and a supportive environment, then McKinley-Thatcher is for you! DPS statistics show that if your child attends and stays at McKinley-Thatcher, then he/she will show academic progress. Kris Woods, parent
This is a small school with a great community feeling. The teachers, the principal, and the staff really take an interest in your child. Literacy is a big focus with the million words campaign and the reading counts program. Science is also an emphasis, through the school's participation in SPREE (South Platte River Environmental Education), annual science fair, and science club.
