Summary:
The city of Tribune, Kansas is home to two public schools, Greeley County Junior/Senior High and Greeley County Elementary School, both of which serve students from the Greeley County Schools district. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as neither school appears to be a standout performer, with both institutions struggling to provide quality education to their students.
Greeley County Junior/Senior High serves 122 students in grades 6-12, while Greeley County Elementary School has 119 students in grades PK-5. Both schools have consistently low statewide rankings and ratings, with 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The schools' performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the schools' graduation and dropout rates, while not entirely dismal, are not exceptional either, with a 4-year graduation rate of 89.5% and a dropout rate of 1.3% at the junior/senior high school.
Socioeconomic challenges may be a contributing factor to the schools' struggles, as both institutions have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with over 45% of students qualifying. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios, with 9.4 students per teacher at the junior/senior high and 12.9 students per teacher at the elementary school, and higher-than-average spending per student, the schools have not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that significant interventions and support may be needed to address the systemic challenges facing these schools and provide a better educational experience for the students of Tribune, Kansas.
