James Elementary James Elementary is a neighborhood school in the Kansas City Public Schools. James Elementary School is over a century old and is deeply rooted in tradition.

The school was named for J. Crawford James, a school board member from 1894 to 1912. Many former James students still reside in Kansas City and often, when former students come to town to visit, they stop by the school. James is focused on high academic achievement and outfitted with the latest 21st century technological classroom tools to bring interactive lessons to life. James has over 15 active partnerships with local civic business, and agencies. It is the school's mission to get our students on the road to a successful and productive life. To that end, every child will visit a college during the school year as they aim high towards attending college in their future.
