Summary:

Chase County has two schools serving 409 students: Chase County Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 6, and Chase County Junior Senior High School serves grades 7–12. In 2025–26, the schools’ simple average proficiency was above the state by 3 points in ELA, 2 in math and 4 in science. But that area-wide picture masks a sharp difference: the high school’s science result was 12 points below the state, while the elementary school was above state results in all three subjects. The most important takeaway is that the area’s overall results, especially in science, are much stronger than the high school’s results alone.

Chase County Elementary School stands out for the highest all-grades results: 55% in ELA, 44% in math and 58% in science—9, 3 and 20 points above the state, respectively. Chase County Junior Senior High School was close to the state in math, at 41% versus 41%, but was 3 points below in ELA and 12 below in science. Grade-level results reveal important exceptions: elementary fifth-grade math was 23% versus 45% statewide, even as its third-grade math was 15 points above state results. At the high school, tenth-grade math was 20 points above the state, while seventh-grade math was 19 points below and eleventh-grade science was 18 points below.

Recent trends also diverged: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the elementary school gained 12 points in ELA, 16 in math and 3 in science; the high school fell 7 points in ELA, 5 in math and 21 in science. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking percentile rose from 39 to 61 for the elementary school over three years, while the high school’s fell from 62 to 48. Attendance is another point of contrast: chronic absenteeism was 9% at the elementary school and 20% at the high school, compared with 18% statewide. The elementary school’s reported free/reduced-lunch rate was higher, at 46% versus 36%; student-teacher ratios were 12.0 and 11.4, respectively. These are differences between two schools with different grade spans, not explanations of their results.
