Hutchinson is a small city positioned about fifty miles northwest of Wichita on the banks of the Arkansas River. The community, known as “Hutch” among locals, grew in the late 19th century as salt mining operations developed, and many mines are still in active use today. The historic downtown district along Main Street is packed with locally-owned shops and cafes housed in vintage storefronts, as well as beautifully-preserved landmarks like Wiley Plaza and the Hutchinson Fox Theatre.
Folks across the region also know Hutchinson as the site of the Kansas State Fair, which draws massive crowds to town for ten days every September. The local rental market tends to be quite affordable, with a wide range of apartments and single-family homes perfect for any lifestyle or budget.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
