Summary:
The Piper High is the sole high school located in the Piper-Kansas City school district. While the school has seen fluctuating performance on statewide rankings, its academic outcomes show mixed results, with proficiency rates in some subjects and grade levels exceeding state averages but lagging behind district averages in others.
Piper High's statewide ranking has ranged from 86th out of 324 schools in 2021-2022 to 154th out of 327 schools in 2022-2023, indicating inconsistent performance. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments (KAP) in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 10th grade were slightly above the state averages in 2023-2024, but lower than the district averages. However, the school's 11th-grade proficiency rate in Science was higher than the state average.
With a student population of 779 and a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (24.13%), Piper High appears to have adequate resources, as evidenced by its per-student spending of $10,206 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.3 to 1. While these resource allocation metrics suggest the school is well-equipped, further investigation may be needed to understand how these resources are being utilized to drive student achievement and address any areas of underperformance.
