Great school district if your kids a bully or you are a spineless administrator. The bullying is absolutely out of control but it's ok...it's ok...your kid can go home for a couple days to recover....while the bullies get to stay and pick on other kids....and they do absolutely nothing to stop the bullying other than putting up posters that say Stop it. Don't bully. Or ones that say reach out to a teacher/administrator...so they can tell your kids it's THEIR FAULT because of the way they dress or act that they're being bullied. That was a good one I'll never forget. If you have the $$$ send your kids to private school and avoid this dumpster fire of a school district...DO IT. Keep your kids away from it. Avoid it like a cheap hotel room filled with roaches, bed bugs and lice... I cannot stress this enough....F##K USD 501. read more

I honestly don't even know where to begin with this dump of a 'school district.' Easily the worst in the state, even falling behind districts in Wichita and Kansas City. The only kinds of 'teachers' at 501 are either A) those who have recently earned their degree and don't know any better, or B) people who can't get hired anywhere else. Parents are seriously better off letting the television raise their children, rather than continue supporting these morons with tax dollars. read more
