Margaret McKenny Elementary was built in southeast Olympia, in the middle of a field filled with yellow scotch broom and hawks nesting in trees. Thus, the hawks became the perfect McKenny mascot.
Architecturally, the building is designed into three pods of 20 classrooms. Grade level teachers, itinerant teachers and support staff work together to provide the best possible learning environment for all of our children, preschool through grade 5. McKenny Elementary welcomes parent and community volunteers to assist in all aspects of our educational and co-curricular day. The facility is used daily by community groups such as YMCA, Olympia Parks and Recreation, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, PTO and neighborhood associations.

National Assessment of Educational Progress
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the

students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted
periodically in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the
arts, civics, economics, geography,U.S.
history, and in Technology and

2018 and 2019.
