Summary:
The city of Burden, Kansas has only one high school, Central Junior-Senior High, which serves students in grades 7-12. This school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks among the top high schools in the state of Kansas, though its statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years.
Central Junior-Senior High excels in core academic areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that generally exceed the state averages. The school's 4-year graduation rate is also above the state average at 89.5%, and its dropout rate is relatively low at 1.3%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% is higher than the state average, indicating a potential area for improvement.
Despite serving a significant population of students from low-income families, as evidenced by the school's 56.55% free and reduced-price lunch rate, Central Junior-Senior High has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 10:1 and per-student spending that is higher than the state average. These factors, combined with the school's strong academic performance, suggest that it is effectively supporting the educational needs of its diverse student body.
