Among the schools in the district, Central Plains Elementary School - Holyrood stands out as the top performer. This school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of elementary schools in Kansas over the past 3 years, with a ranking of 77 out of 656 schools in the most recent year. It has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its test scores are significantly above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.

The district also has some areas of concern, such as high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 19.5% to 19.5%. Additionally, there is a wide range in free/reduced lunch rates and spending per student across the schools, suggesting potential inequities in resource allocation within the district. The Central Plains Junior Senior High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 89.5%, which is above the state average, while the Central Plains Adult Diploma Program and Central Plains Junior Senior High School have relatively low dropout rates of 1.3%.
