BOSTIC TRADITIONAL MAGNET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Bostic Traditional Magnet Elem is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Wichita school district, located in Wichita, KS with about 271 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 17 teachers, Bostic Traditional Magnet Elem has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Bostic Traditional Magnet Elementary, located in Wichita, Kansas, is a member of the Wichita Public Schools (USD 259) district. As a "traditional magnet" school, it distinguishes itself from standard neighborhood schools by emphasizing a structured academic environment with a focus on core curriculum, teacher-directed instruction, and high behavioral expectations.

Because it operates as a magnet school, Bostic often serves a diverse student population beyond its immediate neighborhood boundaries, attracting families who are specifically seeking a disciplined, back-to-basics educational philosophy. The school’s curriculum is designed to foster a rigorous learning atmosphere, encouraging students to develop strong study habits and personal responsibility.
