Summary:
The Buhler area is home to two high schools: Buhler High and Ad Astra Alternative Academy. Buhler High is the larger of the two, with an enrollment of 675 students, while Ad Astra Alternative Academy serves a smaller population of 08 students.
Buhler High has a strong graduation rate of 89.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%, indicating that the school is effectively supporting its students. However, its test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally on par with or slightly below the Buhler district and Kansas state averages. The school also has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 32.3%, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Ad Astra Alternative Academy, on the other hand, has a lower student-teacher ratio of 16, compared to Buhler High's 18.4, which may provide a more personalized learning environment. Both schools, however, face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, with 19.5% of students being chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year. This is an area that may require further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement.
