Leavenworth U.S.D. #453

Leavenworth is the first city in the State of Kansas and blends the best of urban proximity to hometown living. Leavenworth is nestled in the rolling hills on the west bank of the Missouri River, only minutes away from the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. It is an exciting time in Leavenworth with facility expansion and upgrades taking place as a result of the community`s support of a $36.7 million bond issue.

Leavenworth schools offer greater diversity than many schools in the area due in part to the international officers attending the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth and the Foreign Exchange Program.  Enrollment in the district is approximately 4,000 students. Leavenworth has modern and technology-embedded classrooms structured with three PreK-4th grade elementary schools, a 5th-6th grade intermediate & 7th-8th middle school educational campus, and a 9th-12th grade high school.  Leavenworth High School boasts the oldest and most successful JROTC in the country, 16 AP classes, more military service academy appointments than any school in the area, and more than 50 clubs/sports/activities in which students may participate.  Come join us in preparing every student for success in every classroom, every day.
