Kansas City School, among best in the country.

Lincoln Prep best school in metro area, among best in the country

A new national ranking of the top 1500 high schools in the country has placed Lincoln College Prep Academy at #129. The KCMO School District school easily beat all other city and suburban schools and was second in Missouri only to #97 Metro Academic and Classical in St. Louis.

In previous years KCK’s Sumner Academy has ranked in the top 200, but is completely missing from this year’s list. In the suburbs, southern Johnson County’s Blue Valley district dominates. Surprisingly, the much-celebrated Shawnee Mission district failed place a school on the list, nor did top-tier Missouri districts like Lee’s Summit or Liberty.

#129 Lincoln College Prep – Kansas City, MO (KCMO District)
#373 Blue Valley Northwest – Overland Park
#722 Blue Valley – Stillwell, KS
#779 Blue Valley North – Overland Park
#828 Park Hill - Kansas City, MO (Park Hill District)
#842 Blue Valley West – Overland Park
