SchoolAppKC Project

Focus Areas: K-12 Education

The purpose of this project is to understand patterns in school access and school choice in Kansas City.

This project uses data from the online application SchoolAppKC, which is currently being used by nearly every Kansas City charter school. The partner for this project is Show Me KC Schools, an organization that advances parental school choice in Kansas City through an informative, easily navigable online directory of local schools. Working with SchoolSmartKC and participating schools, this study is intended to help educators serve families better by helping them understand patterns in how families are choosing and accessing schools.
