Summary:
Graham County, Kansas is home to a single high school, Hill City Junior-Senior High. This school serves students in grades 7-12 and has a mix of academic performance compared to state averages. While the school's four-year graduation rate of 89.5% is slightly above the state average, its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are below state levels in most grade levels. However, the school does excel in certain areas, such as a 10th grade ELA proficiency rate higher than the state average and a 7th grade Math proficiency rate significantly above the state norm.
Demographic challenges may be impacting the school's performance, as 42.94% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, the school appears to have access to more resources, spending $12,075 per student, which is above the state average, and maintaining a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.8. However, this additional funding has not translated to consistently strong academic outcomes across all grade levels and subjects.
Overall, Graham County has a single high school that demonstrates a mixed performance profile. While the school excels in certain areas, it also faces challenges that may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
