McLouth

Summary:

The McLouth school district in Kansas consists of three schools: McLouth Elementary, McLouth High, and McLouth Middle. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance, with McLouth Elementary standing out as the strongest school in the district while the middle and high schools struggle to meet state benchmarks.

McLouth Elementary appears to be the standout performer, with students exceeding state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. In contrast, McLouth High School and McLouth Middle School both underperform, with test scores well below state standards. McLouth High has especially low 10th grade proficiency rates, with only 30.54% of students scoring proficient or better in ELA and 27.77% in Math.

Despite the academic challenges, the schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios and serve a high-need student population, with nearly half of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools could be an important step in improving student learning and achievement throughout the McLouth school district.
