High Schools in Colby Public Schools

Colby Public Schools in Kansas has only one high school, Colby Senior High, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance metrics, such as test scores and state-wide rankings, are below the state averages, indicating that it is not a top-performing high school in Kansas.

Colby Senior High has a predominantly white student population, with 83.8% of students identifying as white and 13.03% as Hispanic. The school's proficiency rates in core academic subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages. For example, in 10th grade English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate is 8.13%, compared to the state average of 26.74%. Additionally, the school's state-wide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 162nd out of 320 Kansas high schools in 2020-2021 to 280th out of 327 in 2022-2023.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,260 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.7, which is slightly higher than the state average, these resources do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. This raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the factors contributing to the school's underperformance. Overall, Colby Public Schools appears to have a single high school that is struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in Kansas.
