Lansing is an awesome school with great special ed programs. It is getting kind of crowded, but the teachers/staff are fantastic. Test scores are good too.

The school system on post is AMAZING! Best we?「どィび「ve had in the Army! I can?「どィび「t rave about it enough, the schools are state of the art, and the teachers are great. My children?「どィび「s school is has a wonderful nature court where the students hatch ducklings every spring, a nice auditorium, cafeteria, separate gym and wonderful library, as well as classrooms with smart boards and many computers. The other two elementary schools on base LOOK amazing, I?「どィび「ve only been in them a few times, but one has a planetarium and the other I could NOT believe was an elementary school. The building itself is art, lol! The school district only goes through Junior High, though, so high schoolers are bussed to Leavenworth schools, which I have heard are not that great, and in looking at district and school performance levels before coming here, seeing that students are to pay an enrollment fee and in some cases, for their books, as well as hearing many of the troubles with the district superintendent?「どィび「s legal issues and the school board itself, I was not willing to send my kids to Leavenworth schools. They are however, building and renovating many of their school buildings. I have heard wonderful things about the Lansing school district, and know several people with children in that school district and they love it, too. The people I know that live in Platte City like that school district as well.

Also, the Child Development Center is nice, but small, and the waitlists for some of their care and preschool programs can be LONG. When we moved here in the middle of the school year, I tried to get my son into a preschool program at the CDC, he was on the waitlist for 6 months, and was never able to go to preschool (which has me worried as he?「どィび「s going to kindergarten, now, with very little preschool experience). Same with preschools out in town, waitlist can be LONG! You can put your child on the waitlist for the CDC before you get to the base, I wish I had known that before we moved here. Also, hourly care is VERY hard to come by. They open up reservations on the 10th of the month for the following month, so be sure if you know the dates you need care, you call on the 10th! Even a day or two later can result to having to be put on the waitlist! They are building another CDC on post, though. Here?「どィび「s a link for more info:

Area Colleges: There are many educational opportunities at the ed center on post, especially with much of this base being an officer?「どィび「s college, but there is the Kansas City Community College and University of Saint Mary out in town, as well as many other colleges 20-40 minutes away.
