Larned High Student records Accreditation report, school admits they are racist:
" Caring for Self and Others:
Selection of Target Area -
Because of prejudice, bias, or discrimination the staff at Larned High School recognized that the students
were unable to work effectively both independently and/or in groups. Improvement in this area was seen as
a high priority for students at Larned High School and became one of the major target areas for the
building. Through the results of parental, community, student surveys and teacher observations the staff
started to develop interventions for these concerns."
