Our KCPS celebration of Hispanic Heritage month wraps up today with a remembrance of Lali Garcia, a local activist who founded Kansas City’s La Raza political club.
We are thrilled to share some incredible news about the progress our students and schools have made over the past year. Our district has earned an impressive 73.2% on the 2024 Annual Performance Report (APR), marking a growth of 6.6 percentage points!
The purpose of Kansas City Public Schools (KCPS) is to provide a quality education that prepares all of our students, regardless of background or circumstances, for success in college, career and life. We will produce scholars who are high-achieving critical thinkers, prepared to succeed in a constantly changing world and engaged in the improvement of their communities.
"My children have been under the leadership and instruction of the Wendell Phillips staff for four years. It has been a journey of parent teacher partnership to identify struggles, find solutions, set goals, and meet and exceed goals. My children have grown so much at Wendell Phillips.I enrolled my children at Wendell Phillips because it is our neighborhood school; however, this school turned out to a diamond in the rough.”
