I believe my child will be starting Topping Elem., I am not sure what the middle school will be , my question is... As far as accreditation, and it being a safe school district. Does anyone have any insight with this. What about Winnetonka High?

North Kansas City is a great school district. I dont really have a lot of specific info but I went to NKC schools from 3rd grade on and loved it.

North KC is a great district overall, but that part of of it (where Topping and Winnetonka is) is the lowest-rated portion of it.

I had friends whose kids went to Topping and it was a great experience for them (my daughter went to Lakewood and it was wonderful, we hated leaving it). The middle school - depends on where you live as to which you'll go to, but I have heard less rave reviews for them, especially Eastgate, and while I know you can get a good education at Winnetonka, it's the lowest rated of NKC's high schools.

If we'd stayed in KC - we probably would have moved to a different part of the district once my kidlet got to middle school - I'd much rather be in other portions of the district (probably around Oak Park or even as far north as the new Staley HS).

Of the four high schools in the district, Winnetoka is the last one I would choose for my kids. When I was in school, all the kids I knew that went there were a mess and many of them ended up into drugs and other bad stuff.
