Summary:
The Hutchinson Public Schools district in Kansas consists of 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is located in the city of Hutchinson.
Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong performance. Morgan Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the elementary schools, outperforming both the district and state averages. Similarly, the Hutchinson Magnet School at Allen also demonstrates high proficiency rates in these subjects. In contrast, the Hutchinson Virtual School, an alternative school, stands out for its high graduation rate and low dropout rate compared to the other schools in the district.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, the district, and the state. For example, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 24.99% at McCandless Elementary to 41.32% at Morgan Elementary, compared to 30.48% for the district and 44.47% for the state. Additionally, the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Faris Elementary and McCandless Elementary, tend to have lower proficiency rates, suggesting potential equity concerns within the district.
