Best Public Schools in Fort Leavenworth, KS

Summary:

The city of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas is home to a high-performing school district with four schools: three elementary schools (Bradley Elementary, MacArthur Elementary, and Eisenhower Elementary) and one middle school (Patton Junior High).

Bradley Elementary stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state with a 5-star rating and the highest test scores across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Patton Junior High is also a high-achieving school, ranking 2nd and 3rd in the state in the last two school years with strong graduation rates and low dropout rates.

The schools serve a relatively affluent student population, which may contribute to their strong academic outcomes. However, the district should investigate the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, as this could be an area of concern that needs to be addressed.
