The mission of the McKinley Charter School is to educate students for
responsible behavior in their home, school, and community. The school
meets students where they are and helps them move forward
academically and behaviorally. The discipline model used is designed to
foster self-control.
McKinley Charter School has five components. Each component serves
a specific population and delivers a unique curriculum. Two components
are located on-site. The Credit Component serves students in grades 6-12,
and the Competency Component serves 17- to 20-year-old students. The
third component is the Detention Center, located at the Eau Claire
County Courthouse. This component provides educational services to
students who are detained in the Northwest Regional Detention Center.
The fourth component provides educational services to students under the
age of 21 who have not completed a high school diploma and are housed
in the Eau Claire County Jail. The fifth component is Homebound
Services, provided to Eau Claire Area School District students who will
be absent from school for 30 days or more.
