High Schools in Hugoton Public Schools

Summary:

The Hugoton Public Schools district in Kansas operates two high schools: Hugoton High and Hugoton Learning Academy. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and have similar performance metrics, with no clear standout school in the district.

Academically, both Hugoton High and Hugoton Learning Academy struggle, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly below the state averages. The four-year graduation rate for both schools is 89.5%, slightly below the state average, and chronic absenteeism is high at 19.5%. However, the dropout rate for both schools is lower than the state average at 1.3%.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with Hugoton High having a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (48.33%) compared to Hugoton Learning Academy (25%). The district as a whole faces challenges in improving academic achievement and addressing the needs of its diverse student population. While the schools maintain consistent performance, the Hugoton Public Schools district must explore ways to differentiate and enhance the educational experiences for all students.
