High Schools in Comanche County

Comanche County, Kansas is home to a single public high school, South Central High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its performance and ranking over the past few years, dropping from a 4-star rating to a 2-star rating. Despite serving a relatively high-need student population, with over a third of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have fallen below state averages.

South Central High School's four-year graduation rate was 89.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, while its dropout rate was 1.3%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate was high at 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year, which may be contributing to its declining academic performance. The school's student-teacher ratio was 10.8 in the 2023-2024 school year, and it spent $12,590 per student in the 2018-2019 school year.

Without additional data on the performance of other high schools within Comanche County, it is difficult to determine how South Central High School compares to its peers. However, the available information suggests that the school faces significant challenges in maintaining its academic standards and supporting its students' success. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the school's declining performance and improve outcomes for its students.
