Summary:
The Augusta school district in Kansas serves students from 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing Garfield Elementary and the lowest-performing Augusta Senior High and Augusta Middle School.
Garfield Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, with 64.69% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 52.09% in Mathematics. In contrast, Augusta Senior High and Augusta Middle School have test scores below the state averages and rank in the bottom half of their respective school types statewide.
The district faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools and declining performance at some schools. Additionally, the schools serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 40.03% at Augusta Senior High to 52.8% at Ewalt Elementary. By addressing these issues, the district can work to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to succeed.
