High Schools in Colby Public Schools

The Colby Senior High is the sole high school serving the Colby Public Schools district in Kansas. With a student enrollment of 272 students in grades 9-12, the school has seen its statewide ranking improve from a 1-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating in 2024-2025, indicating progress in overall performance.

Academically, Colby Senior High has shown strength in English Language Arts, with 50.67% of 10th graders proficient or better in 2024-2025, outperforming the state average. However, the school's performance in Math and Science has been below the state averages, suggesting a need to focus on improving instruction and outcomes in these subject areas. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 89.5% is slightly above the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.3% is relatively low.

The school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 29.41% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's academic performance and could require additional support and resources to address the needs of this student population. With per-student spending above the state average and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.7, the school appears to have the necessary funding and resources, but the effective utilization of these resources will be crucial in driving further improvements in student outcomes.
