Tescott Junior High/High School ranks 133rd out of 332 Kansas high schools, while Bennington Junior High/High School ranks 216th. Tescott also outperforms Bennington and the Twin Valley district average in English Language Arts and Science test scores. Both schools have similar high graduation rates (89.5%) and low dropout rates (1.3%), indicating strong student outcomes.

While the data suggests Tescott Junior High/High School is the standout performer, both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, around 19.5%, which may be an area for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance. Overall, the Twin Valley district appears to provide a solid educational foundation for its students, with both schools demonstrating strong graduation and low dropout rates, despite the differences in their performance across other metrics.
