The Kansas City, Kan., Public Schools District had 10 schools meet the "Standard of Excellence" mark in the 2008-09 Kansas State Assessments.
McKinley Elementary School, Eugene Ware Elementary School, Hazel Grove Elementary School, Bethel Elementary School, Claude Huyck Elementary School, Quindaro Elementary School, Stony Point North Elementary School, White Church Elementary School, Arrowhead Middle School and Sumner Academy of Arts and Science all had at least one grade level meet the standard.
The amount of schools represented – ten – are a district high.
"I can remember when we would have just one or two classes" said Jill Shackelford, superintendent of KCK Public Schools. "I'm so excited about these numbers."
In order to receive the 'Standard of Excellence' award, various grades or buildings have to meet the following criteria in reading and math:
