FPI Presents the 2021 A-F Grading Report Card for Kansas Public and Private Schools
By David Drosey Kansas Policy Institute – Kansas Policy Institute has just released the 2021 A-F Grading report card for 1,273 Kansas public and 122 Kansas private schools. KPI began this school report card system – based on state assessment scores – in 2017 and followed with report cards in 2018 and 2019. After a COVID related absence in 2020, the 2021 report is now available. The purpose of the A-F grading system is to give parents and other interested parties an easy-to-understand “one-stop-shopping” system of how schools are actually performing. The Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) publishes a “Report Card” on its website, but one must navigate through a myriad of indicators, and there is no grade-based summary for each school.
