Summary:
Stanton County has one high school in this list: Stanton County Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 182 students. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were below Kansas averages in all three reported subjects: 18% in English language arts (ELA) versus 46% statewide, 14% in math versus 41%, and 23% in science versus 38%. The most important finding is that the school’s academic proficiency fell short of the state in every subject, with the largest gaps in ELA and math.
There is no second local high school to compare, so this school is the only one represented—not a countywide leader or trailer. Its standout result is graduation: 100% in 2023–24, 11 percentage points above Kansas’s 90%. Among subjects, science is the relative bright spot, with a 15-point gap from the state, compared with 27 points in math and 28 in ELA; math is the school’s lowest-proficiency subject. The school also scored below the supplied Stanton County district figures in all three subjects: by 12 points in ELA, 19 in math, and 16 in science.
Recent test results moved in different directions: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, school ELA proficiency fell 8 percentage points and math fell 1, while science rose 6. The state’s average gap across the three subjects widened by about 1 point, from 22 to 23 points, as science gains did not offset the ELA and math declines. SchoolDigger’s ranking also fell, from 219 of 332 schools and the 34th percentile in 2024–25, with 2 stars, to 320 of 340 and the 6th percentile in 2025–26, with 0 stars. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 20.2, and 58% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results.
