Boundaries
The school district serves some of the residents within Kansas City.
It is west to east from the Kansas/Missouri border line to western Independence and Raytown. It is north to south from the Missouri River to Hickman Mills and the Center School District at approximately 85th Street. The school district covers NONE of the city north of the Missouri River, sitting inside the historic boundaries of the city before later annexations. In fact, there are portions of Kansas City, itself, where children attend 14 other "suburban" districts. In other words, the Kansas City District comprises the oldest parts of the city and in no way is contiguous with the boundaries of the city of Kansas City, Missouri.
