High Schools in Kiowa County

Kiowa County has one listed school, Kiowa County Junior High/High School, serving grades 6–12 and 131 students. With no other local school to compare, the clearest picture comes from its results against Kansas and the Kiowa County district. In 2025–2026, the school scored above Kansas in all three subjects: 50% in ELA versus 46% statewide, 58% in math versus 41%, and 54% in science versus 38%. The most important finding is that its strongest statewide advantages were in math and science, at 17 and 15 percentage points.

There is no local top or bottom school because the list contains only one, but grade-level results reveal both a standout and an exception. In math, every reported grade was above the state, with grade 10 ahead by 32 points and grade 6 by 29; science grade 11 was 24 points above Kansas. ELA was less consistent: grades 6, 7, and 10 beat the state, while grade 8 scored 35% compared with 42% statewide, a 7-point shortfall. The school exceeded the district in ELA by 3 points and science by 4, but was 1 point below the district in math. SchoolDigger’s ranking rose from 246 of 318 schools (23rd percentile) in 2023–2024 to 9 of 340 (97th percentile) in 2025–2026.

Results changed unevenly over the two latest years: science climbed from 28% to 54%, math rose from 54% to 58%, and ELA fell from 54% to 50%. The science gain shifted its comparison with Kansas from 13 points below to 15 points above, while the ELA advantage narrowed. Other indicators are mixed: graduation was 94% in 2023–2024, 5 points above Kansas, while dropout was 2% in 2024–2025, about 1 point higher than the state. Chronic absenteeism was 16% in 2025–2026, 2 points below Kansas but 6 points above the district. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 7.8, and 34% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch; these figures describe the school’s context, but no other listed school offers a local comparison.
