With only one school in the area, there is no meaningful school-to-school top or bottom comparison; the most useful differences are among grades. Sixth grade stands out, with ELA at 68% versus 42% statewide and math at 67% versus 41%—leads of 26 percentage points in both subjects. The exceptions are fifth-grade ELA, where the school scored 46% versus 51% statewide, and eighth-grade math, at 39% versus 40%. SchoolDigger rated the school four stars and ranked it 59th of 368 Kansas schools in 2025–26, in the 84th percentile.
