West Elk USD 282 is located in Howard, Kansas, serving approximately 400 students in preschool through graduation. West Elk Schools operate on a four-day school week (155 student days/164 teacher contracted days), with Monday being the non-school day. West Elk USD 282 is classified as a 2A district and offers most traditional JH/HS athletics and extra-curricular activities for students. The district offers summer programming for K-8 students. West Elk has been recognized for high academic rigor and success, with the success of over 86% of our students meeting or exceeding Math and Reading standards on Kansas Assessments. West Elk is currently ranked the #4 Best District in the State of Kansas by NICHE. 

 

West Elk has competitive extra-curricular programs, and strong community support. Recently, the patrons of West Elk USD 282 showed their support by passing a bond election, with a 75% voting approval, for the purpose of building a new elementary wing, multi-purpose room, and staff work space. This project is expected to be ready for use in December, 2023. We encourage potential applicants to explore the beautiful Elk County area, as it offers a vibrant school district, abundant wildlife, and many outdoor recreational activities.

 

West Elk is in the process of opening a full time early childhood center/daycare (birth-12) facility on campus. Enrollment for children of staff are protected and prioritized. 

 

In addition, West Elk has been fortunate to keep schools open throughout the pandemic and has not had to utilize remote learning for teachers/students.
