West Franklin

Summary:

The West Franklin school district in Kansas serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools - 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mixed picture, with the elementary schools outperforming the state average on assessments, while the middle and high school lag behind.

Appanoose Elementary School stands out as the highest performing school in the district, with over 50% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Williamsburg Elementary has strong 5th-grade performance, but overall lags behind Appanoose. The district's graduation rate at West Franklin High School is above the state average, but chronic absenteeism is a concern across all schools.

Economic challenges may be a factor, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 37.91% at Appanoose Elementary to 54.46% at Williamsburg Elementary. Funding disparities, with West Franklin Middle School receiving significantly less per-student than the high school, may also contribute to the performance gap between the elementary and secondary schools in the district.
