With a Head Start program, four preschools, 29 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 5 high schools, the district serves a wonderfully diverse mixture of students. About 63 different languages are spoken in the homes of our students. To serve those students, the district employs approximately 4,000 staff. The vision of the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools is to be one of the Top 10 school districts in the nation. Our goal is that “Each student will exit high school prepared for college and careers in a global society, and at every level, performance is on track and on time for success.” To help our students achieve this goal, the district has implemented a district-wide initiative called Diploma+. The goal of Diploma+ is for each student to graduate with a high school diploma plus one of the following seven endorsements: Completion of one year of college; Completion of an Industry-Recognized Certificate or Credential; Achievement of at least 21 on the ACT or 1060 on the SAT; Completion of an IB Diploma Programme or Career-Related Programme; Acceptance into the Military; Completion of a Qualified Internship or Industry-Approved Project; An Approved Plan for Post-Secondary Transition.

    tmsssmu'^i'i lOENTUIDRTH MILITARY ACADEMY ESTABLISHED 1880 - LEXIIVGTDIV, MO. HIGH SCHOOL AND JUNIOR COLLEGE WENTWOHTH'S PURPOSE it is the purpose of Wentworth Military Academy to provide the best conditions possible for the all 'round development of worthy boys and young men. To attain this high purpose, the Academy places greatest emphasis upon these four points: First, it is the Academy's aim to assemble only the highest types of students—deserving youths of good parentage—to assure wholesome associations and greater progress. Every pre­ caution is taken to keep undesirable boys—all those that might prove detrimental to others— out of the Academy. Second, to employ only men of highest character and ability for its faculty. It is not enough for a Wentworth faculty member to be merely a scholar and a splendid instructor, hie must also possess a spirit of friendliness and a sincere desire to give kindly help whenever necessary. hHe must thoroughly understand the innermost problems of boys—be patient with them—and be ready to serve each boy to the best of his ability. Third, to provide the very best equipment throughout every department to the end that every boy will have all those things necessary to his health and happiness and that none shall want for anything that will help him to make progress. Fourth, to provide a program for each day that will best serve the interests of every student. WENTWDHTH FROM THE AIR No. I. Administration Building, "D" Company No. 9. Drill and Athletic Field.
