How was the decision made in regards to dividing the grades K-5, 6-8, and 9-12?
A study on school size by Wichita State University in 1998 provided research on school configurations and optimal organizational structures. The study found that the number of transitions during a students school career affected student achievement. They found that fewer transitions led to more positive student achievement. Therefore, a reorganization of schools in Andover resulted in the creation of the current K-5, 6-8, 9-12 structure.
