Summary:
LaCrosse has one high school, La Crosse High, serving grades 9–12, with 87 students. Its results give families a picture of this school rather than a comparison among local high schools. In 2025–26, all-grade science proficiency was 52%, compared with 38% statewide, while math proficiency was 35%, versus 41% statewide. The clearest finding is that science is the school’s strongest result relative to Kansas, while math is its largest test-score concern.
La Crosse High is technically both the highest- and lowest-performing school in the area because it is the only one listed; its state comparisons are more useful. Science was 14 percentage points above Kansas, and the 11th-grade science result was 22 points above the state’s 11th-grade result. All-grade ELA was 2 points below Kansas, while math was 6 points below; in the grade-matched comparisons, 10th-grade ELA was 3 points above the state and 10th-grade math was 2 points below. The reported graduation rate was 100%, 11 points above Kansas. Chronic absenteeism was 17%, close to the state’s 18% but 7 points above the LaCrosse district rate.
Recent results show mixed movement rather than a consistent trend. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency fell from 46% to 43%, while Kansas’s rose from 44% to 46%; the school moved from 1 point above the state to 2 points below. Math improved from 29% to 35%, a 6-point rise, and its gap with Kansas narrowed from 10 points to 6. SchoolDigger reports a 2025–26 rank of 91st out of 340 Kansas high schools, in the 73rd percentile, with four stars; its rank improved by 74 places from 2023–24. The student–teacher ratio is 8.2, and 46% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. With only one school listed, local school-to-school comparisons are not available.
