Summary:
The city of Hoxie, Kansas is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Hoxie Elementary and Hoxie High. These schools are part of the Hoxie Community Schools district.
Hoxie Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, ranking in the top 27% of Kansas elementary schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science exceed the state averages, and it has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state. In contrast, Hoxie High has a more mixed performance, with its ranking fluctuating between 3 and 4 stars over the past three years, though it still performs reasonably well, ranking in the top 35% of Kansas high schools.
Both Hoxie Elementary and Hoxie High have relatively high per-student spending, which may contribute to their strong academic performance. However, the significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools (40.4% at the elementary level and 26.37% at the high school) suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in student outcomes. The lower student-teacher ratio at the high school level may also be a factor in its relatively stronger performance on metrics like graduation and dropout rates.
