Summary:
Hoisington has four schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Roosevelt Elementary (PK–1), Lincoln Elementary (2–5), Hoisington Middle (6–8) and Hoisington High (9–12); test scores are available for the latter three. The clearest finding is how much results differ by school: the gap between the highest and lowest reported proficiency rates is 34 points in English language arts (ELA), 57 in math and 56 in science.
Lincoln Elementary leads the tested schools and is above state rates in every subject, with proficiency of 63% in ELA, 69% in math and 74% in science—18, 28 and 36 points above the state, respectively. Hoisington High is lowest in all three subjects, at 29% in ELA, 11% in math and 18% in science; those results are 17, 30 and 20 points below state rates. Hoisington Middle falls between them: it is below the state in ELA and math, at 41% and 37%, but above it in science, at 45% (7 points higher).
Recent trends favor Lincoln and Middle, while High moved in the opposite direction: SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking rose from 60 to 89 for Lincoln and 32 to 50 for Middle from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, but fell from 20 to 12 for High. High’s 32% chronic absenteeism also stands out, compared with 9% at Lincoln, 12% at Middle and 18% statewide. High’s reported graduation rate was 93%, above the state’s 90%, and its dropout rate was 1%, below the state’s 1%; these measures describe different outcomes than test proficiency. Roosevelt has no reported test scores, so its academic results cannot be compared with the other schools.
