Summary

Kansas High School is a public high school located in Kansas, Illinois, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 81 students. The school is part of the Kansas CUSD 3 district, which is ranked 506 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Kansas High School has seen a steady improvement in its 4-year graduation rate, reaching 89.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, its test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.4% of students were proficient or better in IAR/Mathematics for all grades, compared to 22.4% for the district and 38.5% for the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Martinsville Junior-Senior High School and Paris Cooperative High School 95, Kansas High School generally performs worse on academic measures, including test scores and graduation rates. The school's performance has declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, $19,428 in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's strategies and resource allocation.
