Wonderful small schools with caring, passionate teachers. Great community involvement. Our twins went to Shawnee Mission schools from kindergarten through 4th grade before we moved south and we've had a much better experience at Jayhawk-Linn. No regrets!

Faced with enormous cuts and hard decisions, the board, teachers, parents, and community have rallied behind this junior high/high school. With a very strong support system and team work, the students are still among some of the brightest. Board members and teachers have continued strong leadership and students are still thriving in this rural community. The programs may have been scaled back, but the student love this school and are still very actively involved in making it the best. The school spirit is unsurpassed. At every event, the entire community is involved to participate. Most importantly, students continue to graduate in exceedingly high numbers. Teachers are encouraging and have remained focused on providing the best curriculum even amongst forced pay cuts and few lay offs. For a district in a poverty income level area, you would never know the disparities when feeling the pride walking into this school. Teachers have given the utmost respect and dignity by the superintendent and board members. Students even attend some board meetings to share projects or show slides. It truly is a dynamic setting.
