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.
