Applications are now open for our magnet schools and choice programs.

A new school year brings opportunities for not only students, but staff as well. Several WPS buildings are welcoming new leaders this school year.

WPS is partnering with the City of Wichita’s Park and Recreation Dept. to provide opportunities for students by enhancing the Wichita Junior Football League and by sharing facilities.

Sixteen teachers and school-based staff members were recently surprised with more than $29,000 in Education EDGE grants.

More than 260 WPS employees and partners from 65 buildings and programs have been recognized with the Fall Good Apple Awards. 

Superintendent Kelly Bielefeld, Safety and Environmental Services Director Terri Moses and Hamilton principal Chad Cushenbery shared updates on recent facility investments that strengthen the security of our schools. Hamilton is one of five schools that received a new secured entrance this summer, marking the completion of districtwide upgrades to ensure every WPS school has a protected and welcoming entryway. 

The state of Kansas is changing the state assessment cut scores because the scores didn’t tell the whole story about what students know and are able to do, and many who were labeled “not proficient” were excelling.

The Wichita Public Schools’ official student enrollment for the 25-26 school year is 45,075 students.
