McKinley Elementary School is a high-performing TK through 5th grade school proudly nestled in the heart of San Diego's vibrant North Park neighborhood. As part of the San Diego Unified School District and an authorized International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (PYP) school, McKinley offers students a rigorous, inquiry-based education that develops globally minded, curious learners. With approximately 620 students, McKinley is home to a close-knit, diverse community of families who are engaged, passionate, and deeply invested in the success of every child. Our Magpies bring energy, creativity, and pride to everything they do, and that spirit is reflected in our strong academic results, dedicated staff, and the warm, welcoming culture that makes McKinley so much more than a school. It is a community.
