Summary:
Hoisington has one listed high school, Hoisington High, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 225 students. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were below Kansas averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science: 29% versus 46% in ELA, 11% versus 41% in math, and 18% versus 38% in science. Math is the clearest concern, with the school 30 percentage points below the state.
Because it is the only school in the list, Hoisington High is both the area’s highest and lowest performer; there is no meaningful local school-to-school comparison. Among the three subjects, math had the largest state gap, while ELA had the smallest, at 17 points; science was 20 points below the state. A positive contrast is graduation: the school’s 2023–2024 rate was 93%, compared with 90% statewide, or 3 points higher. Chronic absenteeism went the other way: 32% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide, a 14-point difference.
Math proficiency declined from 20% in 2024–2025 to 11% in 2025–2026, while the state rate rose from 39% to 41%; the school’s gap therefore widened by 11 points. ELA also edged down, from 30% to 29%, as the state rate rose from 44% to 46%. SchoolDigger placed Hoisington High at the 20th percentile in each of the first two reported years and the 12th percentile in 2025–2026, and gave it 1 star in all three years. The school reported an 11-to-1 student–teacher ratio and a 47% free or reduced-price lunch rate in 2024–2025; these offer context, not an explanation for results. With just one school listed, the data cannot show how these figures compare with other nearby high schools.
