High Schools in Norton Community Schools

Summary:

Norton Community Schools has a single high school, Norton High, serving students in grades 9-12. Located in Norton, Kansas, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 56th out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 194th out of 332 schools in 2024-2025.

Academically, Norton High's performance is mixed compared to state averages. While the school's science proficiency rate is significantly higher than the state average, its English Language Arts and mathematics proficiency rates lag behind. The school also serves a student population with a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 45.74%, indicating a significant socioeconomic disadvantage. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year is relatively high, which may be a contributing factor to the school's declining performance.

Despite these challenges, Norton Community Schools remains committed to providing a quality education for its students. The district and community will likely need to address the factors contributing to Norton High's declining performance, such as academic support, attendance, and socioeconomic factors, in order to improve the school's outcomes and ensure its students have the best possible opportunities for success.
