Humboldt

The Humboldt school district in Kansas consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.

Humboldt Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceed the district and state averages for most grade levels. However, the school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 53.66%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, Humboldt High School and Humboldt Middle School perform below the district and state averages in these academic areas, despite having relatively low dropout rates and a strong 89.5% four-year graduation rate at the high school.

The data also reveals some concerning trends, such as the significantly lower proficiency rates at Humboldt Virtual Education, the district's virtual school. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and its impact on student outcomes. Overall, the Humboldt school district faces a mix of challenges and opportunities, with the elementary school serving as a bright spot and the secondary schools and virtual program requiring further attention and support.
