Geary County Schools

Summary:

The Geary County Schools district in Kansas consists of 15 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population with a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools.

The standout schools in the district include Fort Riley Middle School, which ranks 72nd out of 363 Kansas middle schools and has a 4-star rating, as well as Lincoln Elementary and Sheridan Elementary, which rank 174th and 155th out of 656 Kansas elementary schools, respectively, and also have 4-star ratings. These schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with over 50% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

In contrast, some schools in the district, such as Washington Elementary, struggle with lower test scores, with only around 20-30% of students proficient or better in core subjects. The district also sees a wide range in spending per student, from $8,711 at LTG Richard J. Seitz Elementary to $14,195 at Grandview Elementary, which may contribute to the performance disparities across the district.
