Manhattan-Ogden Public Schools
General Information:
Our district consists of seven elementary schools in Manhattan and one elementary school in Ogden. The elementary schools house K-6th grades.
There are two middle schools in Manhattan which house grades 7th and 8th.
The high school is comprised of two campuses - the East Campus serves students in the 9th grade and the West Campus serves students in 10th through 12th grades.
Students who live in Ogden attend Ogden Elementary School and then middle and high school in Manhattan.
You may call the Robinson Education Center at 587-2000 to determine which elementary or middle school your child will attend or to find out when enrollment will be for the school year.
A child must be five years old on or before August 31 of the same year you wish to enroll them in kindergarten. Kansas law does not permit special arrangements or testing to allow younger students to start kindergarten.
If you live 2.25 miles or more from your assigned school, the district will provide free bus service to and from that assigned school. Transportation applications are available from your assigned school.
All school cafeterias serve breakfast and lunch. Meal pattern breakfasts and lunches are served to meet USDA guidelines. Free and reduced price meal information and guidelines are available at your assigned school.
Federal and state laws require that every student, including the exceptional child, must receive an appropriate educational experience in the least restrictive environment in order to develop individual capabilities.
