Eight independent elementary schools consolidated in order to provide the best education for their community in 1903, and more than one hundred sixteen years later, Raytown Quality Schools continuously renews its vision for quality education during an ever exciting time of growth and change. Staff and parents challenge students to strive to reach their academic and social potential, and the District helps provide the programs they need to succeed. Raytown is a fully accredited district by both state and national standards.

Our students are driven, high-achieving and keep the quest for excellence alive and well in Raytown. The District is also home to the 2018 National ProStart Culinary Arts Champions.
