Summary:
Eureka, Kansas, has two public schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Marshall Elementary School serves PK–6 and enrolls 309 students, while Eureka Junior/Senior High serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 234. Because they serve different grades, their schoolwide test percentages are not like-for-like comparisons. The clearest overall finding is that Marshall leads the supplied 2025–26 results in all three subjects, with its biggest advantage in science.
Marshall’s lead is modest in English language arts, wider in math, and especially large in science: its results were 51% in ELA versus 49% at the high school, 46% in math versus 37%, and 79% in science versus 39%. Both schools were above the state in ELA (46%); in math, Marshall was 5 points above the state result of 41%, while the high school was 4 points below. The two schools’ equal-weight average was 59% in science, 21 points above the state’s 38%, largely reflecting Marshall’s unusually high result. The high school’s science result was close to the state’s.
Recent score changes favor Marshall, while the high school’s results improved only in science: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Marshall gained 5 points in ELA, 14 in math, and 31 in science; the high school fell 5 points in ELA and 1 in math, but gained 13 in science. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose for Marshall from 35th to 56th, while the high school remained higher, moving from 78th to 76th. Other measures add a different strength: the high school reported a 100% graduation rate, and chronic absenteeism was 17%, just below the 18% state rate; Marshall’s absenteeism was lower at 8%. Student–teacher ratios were similar, at 10.8 for Marshall and 10.1 for the high school. Free/reduced-lunch rates were 72% and 64%, respectively; these are context measures, not explanations for test results.
