General
Information
The Andover, Kansas, public school district spans 47 square miles
in Butler and Sedgwick counties. Andover is located east of Wichita
and is home to more than 8,000 people. Approximately 4,800 students
attend the five elementary, two middle and two high schools in the
Andover school district.
Andover Public Schools hold high expectations for students and
staff. Andover schools take pride in their academic excellence and
progress to exceed local, state and NCLB goals. Our tradition of
excellence is evident in our National Merit Finalists and
Semi-Finalists, Standard of Excellence awards, state championships
in athletics and activities, and regional and national recognitions
awarded to programs and staff. Andover is a progressive district
focused on helping students succeed.
The Board of Education is committed to
small schools and small class sizes. The district has seen
considerable growth in the last decade and is currently the third
fastest growing school district in the state of Kansas. The
community overwhelming approved a bond issue in 2005 to support the
growing population. The bond issue included building
three new elementary schools -- a new Robert M. Martin Elementary
School opened in Fall 2007, and Wheatland Elementary School and
Prairie Creek Elementary School opened in Fall 2008 -- as well as
classroom additions to Cottonwood Elementary School, renovation of
Meadowlark Elementary School, classroom additions and a competition
gym at Andover High School, and safety and security improvements
districtwide.
The district enjoys a partnership with Butler Community College
that allows high school students the opportunity to earn college
credit hours. The district also participates in the Butler County
Special Education Cooperative and the South Central Kansas
Education Service Center. Andover employs counselors and nurses in
each building, has intervention and prevention teams available to
work with at-risk students, employs paraprofessionals to assist
librarians and teachers, and has active parent volunteer
organizations that enhance learning experiences.
All of this has contributed to the success of Andover Public
Schools.
