Summary:
Ellis has one listed high school, Ellis Junior/Senior High, serving grades 7–12 with 161 students. Its latest results show a strong overall comparison with Kansas, although performance differs by subject. The clearest strength is science: proficiency was 19 percentage points above the state.
There is no school-to-school top or bottom comparison because only one school is listed; within the school, science had the highest all-grades proficiency and mathematics the lowest. In 2025–26, science was 57% compared with 38% statewide, and English language arts (ELA) was 57% compared with 46%—11 points higher. Mathematics was 38%, 3 points below the state’s 41%. Results vary by grade, too: ELA exceeded state results in each listed grade, while 10th-grade math was 3 points below the state. The 2023–24 graduation rate was 93%, versus 90% statewide. Chronic absenteeism was 16%, 2 points below the state rate but 5 points above the district rate.
Results changed unevenly from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose 15 points at the school, compared with a 1-point state increase; math was essentially unchanged while the state rose 2 points; and science fell 6 points, a larger decline than the state’s 3 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking also dipped and rebounded: the school ranked 59th of 318 schools (81st percentile) in 2023–24, 143rd of 332 (57th percentile) in 2024–25, and 62nd of 340 (82nd percentile) in 2025–26. Its student–teacher ratio is 9.4, and 36% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
