Summary:
The city of Tescott, Kansas is home to two schools - Tescott Elementary and Tescott Junior High/High School, both part of the Twin Valley school district. While Tescott Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Kansas elementary schools, Tescott Junior High/High School has had more mixed results, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the years.
Tescott Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, with test scores significantly above district and state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate and spends more per student than the state average. In contrast, while Tescott Junior High/High School maintains a 3-star rating, its statewide ranking has varied, dropping as low as 237th out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022. However, the school has a strong 89.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate.
Both Tescott Elementary and Tescott Junior High/High School have relatively small enrollments of 79 and 67 students, respectively, which could provide opportunities for more personalized attention but may also present resource and staffing constraints. Additionally, both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present unique challenges and considerations for the schools.
