Linwood School

The Linwood School had the humblest of beginnings. With an entire student body of just 25 kiddos, Jackson County’s School #6 at rural Linwood Boulevard and Woodland Avenue was annexed to the Kansas City School District as the land around it was annexed to the city itself in 1890. That year, what would become a 24-classroom building erected its first wing, and by the 1920s, the student population numbered more than 1000.
