High Schools in Douglass Public Schools

Summary:

Douglass Public Schools in Kansas has only one high school, Douglass High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 67th out of 318 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024 and 230th out of 332 in 2024-2025. Douglass High's four-year graduation rate of 89.5% in 2023-2024 was slightly above the state average, but the school had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in 2024-2025.

Academically, Douglass High's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 10th-grade students were lower than the state averages in 2024-2025, but the school's proficiency rates in these subjects, as well as Science, were generally higher than the state averages in 2023-2024. The school's per-student spending of $11,344 in 2018-2019 was higher than the state average, but this has not translated into consistently strong academic performance.

Douglass High serves a population with a relatively high percentage (35.05%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's challenges in maintaining a consistently high level of academic achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Douglass Public Schools and Douglass High face a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, and further analysis may be needed to identify strategies for continuous improvement.
