Summary:
The Fredonia Junior/Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Fredonia area. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Kansas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance. The school's graduation rate is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate is relatively low.
Academically, Fredonia Junior/Senior High School struggles, with test scores significantly below state averages across all subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 14.88% for 10th grade to 44.22% for 7th grade, compared to state averages of 37.93% and 41.93%, respectively.

The school's Science proficiency rate of 32.14% also falls short of the state average of 41.44%.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 48.64%. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 and per-student spending of $10,668 suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the specific needs of the student population.
