Summary:

The city of Andover, Kansas is home to 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this Andover school district serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are generally high-performing, with several standout institutions.

Andover High School and Andover Middle School consistently rank among the top 15-20 schools in their respective categories in Kansas, with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools demonstrate strong academic performance, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates. Andover Central Middle School also performs exceptionally well, ranking in the top 20-30 middle schools in the state.

While the district's middle and high schools excel, the elementary schools show more variation in test scores and rankings. The district should examine the curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation at the elementary level to ensure more consistent performance. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% is a concern that requires investigation and targeted interventions. The significant disparities in spending per student, ranging from $3,302 to over $8,200, also warrant further examination to ensure equitable access to resources across all schools.
