Moundridge

The Moundridge school district in Kansas consists of three schools: Moundridge Elementary, Moundridge Middle, and Moundridge High. The data shows that Moundridge High School is the standout performer in the district, consistently ranking among the top 27-140 high schools in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moundridge High School's academic performance is significantly stronger than the state averages, with 52.16% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 63.03% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school also boasts a high 89.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. In contrast, Moundridge Elementary and Moundridge Middle have more average performance, ranking in the middle 200s-300s among their respective school types in the state.

While all three Moundridge schools have similar per-student spending around $12,300, the data suggests there may be opportunities to target funding and support to the lower-performing elementary and middle schools. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, around 19.5%, is a concern that may need to be addressed to improve student outcomes. The differences in free/reduced lunch rates between the schools, ranging from 34.42% at Moundridge High to 48.44% at Moundridge Elementary, could also point to socioeconomic disparities within the district that may impact learning and resource needs.
