Summary:
The city of La Crosse, Kansas is home to three public schools: La Crosse Elementary School, La Crosse High School, and La Crosse Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade within the LaCrosse school district.
Among the three schools, La Crosse Elementary School stands out with consistently high performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics, exceeding both district and state averages. The school also boasts strong Science proficiency and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, La Crosse High School has an impressive 89.5% four-year graduation rate and a low dropout rate, but its proficiency rates in core subjects are above the district average yet below the state average. Lastly, La Crosse Middle School has struggled to maintain proficiency rates, with consistently low performance in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state.
Across all three schools, there is a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.54% at La Crosse Elementary to 50% at La Crosse High School. The student-teacher ratios are relatively low, and the per-student spending is relatively high, suggesting that factors beyond funding and staffing may be influencing the academic performance of these schools.
