Summary:
Nickerson, Kansas has only one high school, Nickerson High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 102 out of 332 Kansas high schools (3 out of 5 stars) in 2024-2025 to 261 out of 318 (1 out of 5 stars) in 2023-2024.
Nickerson High School's strengths include a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 89.5% and strong performance in Mathematics, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages. However, the school faces challenges in other areas, such as lower-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and significantly lower proficiency in Science compared to the district and state. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 50.85%, which may present unique challenges and considerations for the school's educational approach and resource allocation.
Despite the school's fluctuating performance, its per-student spending of $13,225 for the 2018-2019 school year was higher than the state average, suggesting a focus on providing additional resources and support for students. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's overall performance and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Nickerson community.
