Summary:
The Moscow Public Schools district in Kansas operates two schools: Moscow High and Moscow Elementary. While Moscow High has struggled in recent years, ranking in the bottom half of Kansas high schools, Moscow Elementary has consistently performed better, ranking in the top half of Kansas elementary schools.
Moscow High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 263 out of 318 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024 to 120 out of 332 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Moscow Elementary outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency, though it underperforms in Mathematics.
Both schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients. However, the district appears to be allocating resources effectively, with relatively low student-teacher ratios at both schools. While Moscow High requires attention to address its declining performance, Moscow Elementary stands out as a relatively stronger-performing school in the district.
