Cherryvale

Summary:

The Cherryvale school district in Kansas consists of three schools - Cherryvale Senior / Middle School, Lincoln Central Elementary, and Thayer Schools. The district serves students from elementary through high school grades.

Among the three schools, Thayer Schools stands out with consistently strong performance, ranking in the top 50% of Kansas elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has excellent test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, and a relatively low rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Cherryvale Senior / Middle School struggles, ranking in the bottom half of Kansas high schools with a 1-star rating and below-average test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Lincoln Central Elementary also performs reasonably well, ranking in the top 50% of Kansas elementary schools with a 3-star rating and above-average test scores in English Language Arts and Science. However, all three schools in the Cherryvale district face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area for improvement to support student engagement and success.
