In the state of Kansas, there are 105 counties and 286 school districts. Each county is governed by a board of commissioners elected by the citizens of the county. The boards are responsible for levying taxes, approving budgets, and appointing county officials. School districts are also governed by locally elected boards of directors that have authority over district operations, including setting academic standards, approving budgets, and hiring staff. Each district is responsible for providing educational services to students in its jurisdiction.
The Kansas State Department of Education oversees both county and school district operations in the state. This department establishes curriculum standards and administers educational programs throughout Kansas. It also provides technical assistance to local education agencies on matters such as school finance and special education services. In addition, the Department helps ensure that all schools meet certain educational requirements mandated by state law. Finally, it works with local governments to promote educational excellence in Kansas‘s schools by providing resources for teachers and administrators alike.
There are many public and private high schools in the state of Kansas. It is rather difficult for you to choose one that fits you most. In order for you to better evaluate your choice, we have ranked these high schools based on latest SAT/ACT scores, graduation rates, and state test scores from the Kansas Department of Education.
