Our District

We Learn. We Lead. We Thrive.

Through strong relationships, connected learning communities, and a shared commitment to helping every student succeed, Circle Public Schools is a place where Thunderbirds learn, grow, and thrive together.

Circle Public Schools, USD 375, is a proudly accredited Kansas public school district serving families across Northeast Wichita, Bel Aire, Benton, Towanda, and El Dorado.

Together, our four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school create a connected learning community of approximately 2,100 Thunderbirds.

Every day, we work to ensure our students feel known, supported, and ready to thrive—both in and beyond the classroom.

"At Circle Public Schools, we learn, we lead, and we thrive together. Our district is built on strong relationships and a shared commitment to ensuring every student feels known, supported, and prepared for their future. We’re honored to serve our communities and excited to welcome you into our Thunderbird team."
