Ha ha, which schools? I can list Pawnee, Apache, Comanche, Somerset, Meadowbrook and Shawnee Mission East (although the latter ones were in Prairie Village, KS).

Yeah, we moved around the 'burbs a bit.

Also: another experimental "Free" school in the 1970's for one year was P.A.C.E.R.S. in KCMO, and then a partial year at a Catholic School in KCMO: Saint Francis Xavier, ha ha.



Sunrise Point Elementary, Prairie Star Middle, and Blue Valley High. IIRC, SPE is a bit newer. But Blue Valley High has probably been there since the start of the district.

btw: just noticed you’re the person who wrote that color picker post. that was a fun read.


Would you mind naming which school replaced the experimental school you described in your original post? Or the name of the experimental school itself?


Comanche Elementary was the experimental school. It is still there, but is not the same round building that I remember.

I did find a number of articles about it at Newspapers.com. Around 1971 and 1972 there were a few good articles about the architecture and "Open Classrooms", "Team Teaching", etc. (Kansas City Star, of course.)
