This school is a utopic mixture of children, staff, and parents from all parts of the city, from all backgrounds, from all parts of the world, and all socio-economic statuses. This school is Kansas City. It looks like the community that it stands within. I'm happy my kids are a part of it. Close Quote

This is a great school. I fear for the decrease in diversity might impact the chance to socially educate the students. Close Quote
