Summary:

Geary County Schools serves students at 15 schools: 12 elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. The supplied all-grades results show average proficiency of 52% in ELA, 45% in math and 54% in science, compared with state figures of 46%, 41% and 38%. Results vary substantially from school to school, making that unevenness the most important thing for families to keep in mind.

Among elementary schools, Fort Riley Elementary leads in ELA at 69%, while Lincoln Elementary leads in math at 64%, and Morris Hill Elementary leads in science at 76%. Fort Riley Elementary is above state figures in all three subjects. At the other end, Washington Elementary is below the state in all three, with 40% in ELA, 24% in math and 36% in science. The middle schools differ, too: Fort Riley Middle School is above state figures in all subjects, while Junction City Middle School is below in ELA and math. Junction City Senior High is below state proficiency figures in all three subjects.

Recent changes are mixed: average ELA rose 2 percentage points, math was essentially unchanged, and science rose 6 points among schools with results for both years. The area gained ground relative to the state in ELA and science but lost ground in math. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking rose 25 points for Milford Elementary and fell 43 points for Westwood Elementary. Other measures provide context, not a simple performance formula: student–teacher ratios range from 11.1 at Fort Riley Middle School to 17.3 at Lincoln, and chronic absenteeism ranges from 8% at Fort Riley Elementary to 26% at Grandview Elementary. Grandview is an exception to a simple attendance-and-scores pattern, with results above state figures in all three subjects despite the area’s highest absenteeism rate.
