In contrast, Erie High School ranks 288 out of 332 Kansas high schools and has a 1-star rating, underperforming the district and state in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency.

Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.5%, which may be contributing to their academic struggles.
