Kansas City is home to a lot of really great schools, but choosing where is the best fit for your child can be a complicated process—especially after the last couple of years that put schools and everyone who works in them under an immense amount of stress.

Our team at The Star is working on a project to take a deeper look at our area’s K-12 schools and to compare different qualities among them. We need your help to make the project as helpful as possible.

A lot of different factors can make a school such a special place, and we want to know what’s most important to you.

Could you take a few minutes to tell us what you look for and value most about your school?

You can use the form below. We’ll use your suggestions to help shape what we report, and we’ll share back with you what we find.

If you have any questions, you can ask us at kcq@kcstar.com.
