Northeast

Located at 1001 E South Street in Arma, Kansas, the Northeast School District serves as a vital educational cornerstone for families across a distant rural community in the greater Pittsburg metropolitan area. Operating three active school facilities, this regular public school district offers a continuous learning pathway spanning from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The district provides an accessible, fully operational environment dedicated to guiding local youth through every key milestone of their primary and secondary development.

In the 2024–2025 academic year, the district educates a close-knit student body of 473 learners, including 242 female and 231 male students distributed evenly across elementary, middle, and high school grade levels. The student body encompasses a diverse mix of backgrounds, including 396 White, 44 Hispanic, 23 multiracial, 6 Black, and 4 American Indian students. To support learning and campus operations, Northeast employs a robust professional workforce totaling over 177 full-time equivalent staff members, which includes nearly 99 full-time equivalent classroom teachers, 6 instructional aides, and more than 72 support staff personnel. This strong staffing context ensures that students benefit from low student-to-teacher interactions, specialized instruction, and a supportive educational environment tailored to rural community needs.
