I like how even with the poor economy and low economy neighborhood they still strive to put an effort with good teachers and good opportunities. We have programs like free college classes in high school, tec which is bringing high school students to Kansas City Kansas Community College tec center and getting hands on experience. Which you can get certified from, from being still in high school. Different things include nail tech, cosmetology, CNA and more. Both of these being added to our public schools. It's an effort to make things better and easier for students. Although, there is more things the district and my school can work on, for all the resources we have it's great.
I always thought good things about The Kansas City Kansas Public School District and I have a very special spot in my heart for it. One thing I like about the district is the amount of resources they provide for students. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic they have tried their best to provide meals for any students who their only meal they had was from school. They take into consideration who they students are and their income and I appreciate it. Yet, as I grow older I start to notice a couple things and how things are not always be fair or not everything is in the best conditions. Something that I would like to see change is the fact that the district is being forced to cut some extracurriculars because of the education budget. For example, at my younger sister's school they have cut the theatre program and are planning on removing the yearbook club. Both of those activities, I know would affect many students in a negative way by limiting their access to creative activities.
What I like about Kansas City Public Schools is that we're a very diverse district. There's people that are similar to me and not so similar to me. It's a good thing because students need to learn that everyone is unique and different. I also like our clubs, activities and sports. Our school spirit is increasing!
