Twin Valley

The Twin Valley school district in Kansas serves students from elementary through high school, with a total of 4 schools - 2 elementary schools and 2 junior/senior high schools. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools within the district, with some standout institutions and areas for improvement.

Tescott Elementary and Tescott Junior High/High School are the clear standouts, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. These schools also have very low student-teacher ratios, suggesting strong individualized attention for students. In contrast, Bennington Junior High/High School has shown a decline in performance, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating on SchoolDigger.

Across the district, graduation and dropout rates are generally strong, but chronic absenteeism remains a challenge. The Bennington Elementary school also has solid test scores, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades. Overall, the data suggests that the Twin Valley district has room for improvement, and identifying and implementing best practices from the top-performing Tescott schools could help raise achievement and equity across the system.
