Mckinley State Preschool

McKinley Elementary School, spectacularly situated overlooking the Santa Barbara coast, was refurbished and reopened in September 1986. The school, built in 1932, was the focal point for the Santa Barbara mesa for many years and now serves the lower westside of the city.

The McKinley faculty is committed to: making each student a grade level reader by the end of third grade; implementing Open Court series to provide a strong foundation; continuing a schoolwide assessment of reading and writing; continuing the math program, Mathland, along with basic math skills; providing a strong ESL program that promotes academic English language development; providing more ways to assist at-risk students and to meet individual needs, particularly in reading; providing more ways to assist and inform parents about how they can help their children; having students become computer literate and familiar with the Internet.
