Summary:
There is only one high school located in Crest, Kansas - Crest High School. This small school serves grades 9-12 and has a student population of just 77 students. While the school's performance on state assessments is generally below the Crest state average, it maintains a relatively low dropout rate and a graduation rate slightly below the state average.
Crest High School stands out for its high percentage of students (48.05%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school also has a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which is higher than the state average. These factors may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Despite these challenges, Crest High School provides a small, personalized learning environment for its students. With a student-teacher ratio of 14.6 to 1, the school may be able to offer more individualized attention and support. However, the limited resources and course offerings typical of a small school could also present obstacles for students. Overall, Crest High School's performance and characteristics suggest areas for improvement, but also highlight the unique opportunities and challenges faced by small, rural high schools.
