High Schools in Hodgeman County

Hodgeman County has one listed high school, Hodgeman County High, serving grades 7–12, so families have no other local high school in this list to compare it with. In 2025–2026, the school’s proficiency rates were above Kansas’s in English language arts (ELA) and math, but below the state in science. The most important takeaway is that science is the school’s clearest academic weakness relative to the state, even as ELA and math are strengths.

Hodgeman County High is both the area’s top and bottom school because it is the only one listed; within its results, the strongest comparisons are in math and ELA, while science is lowest. All-grades ELA proficiency was 59%, 13 percentage points above Kansas, and math was 57%, 16 points above; science was 23%, 15 points below. Grade 10 math stands out especially: 73% proficient compared with 37% statewide, a 37-point advantage. Grade 10 ELA was also strong, at 67% versus 41%. Results have exceptions: in grade 8, ELA was 2 points below the state and science 12 points below, while math was 7 points above.

Results improved substantially in ELA and math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose from 37% to 59%, and math from 44% to 57%; science slipped from 25% to 23%. SchoolDigger’s ranking moved from 101st of 318 schools, the 68th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024, to 70th of 332, the 79th percentile and 4 stars in 2024–2025; it remained at the 79th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026. Other reported measures are favorable against the state: graduation was 91% versus 90%, and chronic absenteeism was 15% versus 18%. The school enrolls 109 students, has a 7.5 student–teacher ratio, and a 34% free/reduced-lunch rate; these describe its context but do not explain its results.
