Lee’s Summit was recently featured in BusinessWeek magazine as Missouri’s “Best Place in America to Raise Kids.” Only one town was selected from each state, and most important factors in this analysis were school performance, affordability and safety. Money magazine named Lee’s Summit R-7 schools as seventh best in the nation in its annual “Best Places to Live” issue focusing on the nation’s top 100 small cities.

The district currently includes 18 elementary schools, three middle schools, three high schools, an alternative secondary school, a secondary technology academy, an early education center and a special-education, day-treatment center. Recognized as one of the nation’s outstanding school districts, the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District has received School Match’s What Parents Want Award for many years.

In addition, the R-7 School District has won Missouri’s Distinction in Performance Award, the state’s highest recognition for academic achievement. The district exceeded the criteria for this prestigious award by earning a perfect score on the Missouri performance indicators every year since the program began.

The Windemere neighborhood feeds into these schools in the Lee’s Summit district. See a map of the neighborhood and its proximity to the schools.
