Garfield Elementary Garfield Elementary is a neighborhood school in the Kansas City Public Schools. Located at 436 Prospect, Garfield has 610 students in Pre-K through 6th grade.

Garfield Elementary was built in 1962 after a school with the same name at 421 Wabash street was torn down the year before. The old school was a tall, brick building with a bell tower that had been in northern Kansas City since the late 1800s. Today, Garfield Elementary is a neighborhood school that serves students in the Northeast community. It serves a very diverse community with students from more than 12 countries representing a variety of cultures. Over 300 students receive specialized assistance through the English Language Learners program. Garfield focuses on the advantages of positive behavior through the Missouri Positive Behavior Intervention Support initiative. We encourage students to focus on what they do right as a means to success. Our PBIS team meets monthly to discuss ways that we can provide a safe, successful environment for our students. With a staff of 58 teachers, administrative support, food service workers, and custodial personnel we look forward to serving your children within our community where Garfield Eagles SOAR!

Last week, Garfield proudly hosted our first Title I Meeting and Quarterly Family Engagement Night: Literacy Night! Families had the opportunity to visit classrooms where teachers brought stories to life through interactive read-alouds and engaging, book-based activities. Students and parents also enjoyed shopping at our Scholastic Book Fair, helping to foster a love of reading both at school and at home. Thank you to all the families who joined us for an evening of literacy, learning, and community!
