Douglass Public Schools

Summary:

The Douglass Public Schools district in Kansas consists of three schools: Leonard C Seal Elementary, Douglass High, and Marvin Sisk Middle School. The data reveals that Leonard C Seal Elementary is the standout performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Kansas elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in test scores. Douglass High has also shown significant improvement, moving up in the statewide rankings and achieving a strong graduation rate.

While Leonard C Seal Elementary excels, the other two schools in the district generally lag behind the district and state averages in test scores. All three schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area for the district to address. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with Leonard C Seal Elementary and Marvin Sisk Middle School having higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Douglass High.

The variation in spending per student, with Douglass High and Marvin Sisk Middle School receiving higher funding than Leonard C Seal Elementary, raises questions about the equity of resource allocation within the district. Investigating the reasons for these differences could provide insights into how to better distribute resources to support student success across all schools in the Douglass Public Schools district.
