Create Hope and Success for Every Child. Bluestem is a rural school district in eastern Butler County Kansas.
Despite the rural nature of this scenic 350 square mile school district, it lies less than 30 minutes from all of the suburban hustle and bustle on the east side of Wichita, KS. Bluestem operates one 7-12 jr/sr high school and one PK-6 elementary school. Bluestem schools adopted a 4-day school week in 2010. Bluestem Schools implemented a K-12 - 1 to 1 iPad project in the 2012-13 school year.
