Summary:
Washington County Schools has only one high school, Washington County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been mixed, with a state-wide ranking that has fluctuated between 188 and 279 out of 332 Kansas high schools over the past few years, and a SchoolDigger rating ranging from 1 to 2 stars out of 5.
Washington County High School's academic achievement is generally below the state averages in Kansas. Test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are lower than the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 17.24% to 40.9% in ELA and 26.66% to 36.36% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 37.93% and 33.59%, respectively. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and a dropout rate of 1.3%, which is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively small student population of 166 students and a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.5, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student is $15,037, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may have access to more resources, but they do not seem to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes, which raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of these resources.
