Best Public Schools in Victoria, KS

Victoria has two schools: Victoria Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 6, and Victoria Junior-Senior High School, serving grades 7–12. The latest results show a clear subject split: both schools exceed Kansas results in math and science, while English language arts (ELA) is a concern, especially at the high school. Most importantly, the schools’ shared strength is math and science, but their ELA results diverge.

Victoria Elementary stands out in ELA and science, scoring 48% and 53%, respectively, compared with 38% and 45% at the high school. Its ELA result is 2 points above the state, while the high school is 8 points below; both schools are above the state in science. Victoria Junior-Senior High School leads in math, at 53% versus 50% at the elementary, with both above the state’s 41%. Grade-level results show an important ELA exception: elementary fourth graders scored 32%, compared with 50% statewide. All Grades comparisons are not fully like-for-like because the schools serve different grade spans.

Math and science results improved at both schools from the prior year, while ELA fell: math rose 6 points at the elementary and 10 at the high school; science rose 3 and 8 points, while ELA declined 3 and 2 points. SchoolDigger ranks the high school at the 82nd statewide percentile (4 stars), up from the 33rd percentile two years earlier; the elementary is at the 59th percentile (3 stars). The elementary has 153 students, an 11.5 student-teacher ratio and a 45% free/reduced-lunch rate; the high school has 110 students, a 7.5 ratio and a 24% rate. Both schools’ chronic absenteeism rates are below the state’s 18%: 10% at the elementary and 14% at the high school.
