Woodson

Headquartered at 101 W Butler in Yates Center, Kansas, the Woodson public school district operates as an active, traditional public school system dedicated to serving its rural remote community. The district manages two operational schools that together deliver a complete educational pathway spanning pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, alongside specialized ungraded learning opportunities. Serving as a vital academic anchor for local families, the district provides a continuous, supportive environment tailored to early learners, middle-grade students, and high schoolers preparing for higher education or the workforce.

The district currently educates a student body of 430 children, maintaining a balanced enrollment across all primary and secondary grade levels with 201 female and 229 male students. To ensure each learner receives attentive guidance, Woodson is backed by a robust professional workforce totaling nearly 132 full-time equivalent staff members. This team includes over 76 full-time equivalent classroom teachers alongside dedicated instructional aides and essential support personnel. This strong staffing context fosters small class sizes, individualized instruction, and a tightly knit educational environment for students, parents, and researchers exploring public education in rural Kansas.
