Summary:
The Beloit school district in Kansas consists of two schools: Beloit Elementary and Beloit Junior-Senior High. While Beloit Junior-Senior High has maintained a relatively strong statewide ranking, placing in the top half of Kansas high schools, Beloit Elementary has seen a decline in its ranking, dropping from 276th out of 660 Kansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 365th out of 656 in 2024-2025.
Beloit Junior-Senior High has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating the high school is doing well at keeping students engaged and on track to graduate. In contrast, Beloit Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions like 4th grade ELA.
Both schools have relatively high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 44.68% for Beloit Elementary and 46.13% for Beloit Junior-Senior High in 2023-2024. This suggests the need to address socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning. Additionally, the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Beloit Elementary compared to the high school may not be translating into better academic performance, indicating the need to examine how resources are being utilized.
