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 10,000 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. 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
district-wide.
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.
