Summary:
The Golden Plains school district in Kansas serves three schools: Golden Plains Elementary, Golden Plains High, and Golden Plains Middle. The district is ranked 203 out of 264 in Kansas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Golden Plains High School stands out as a relatively strong performer, ranking 174 out of 332 Kansas high schools and maintaining a 4-year graduation rate of 89.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%. The school also performs well on state assessments, with 10th-grade ELA and Math proficiency rates above the state average. In contrast, Golden Plains Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in 4th-grade ELA and Math proficiency and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the district and state.
However, the overall academic performance of the schools in the Golden Plains district is a concern, with most schools performing below the state averages in ELA, Math, and Science proficiency. Additionally, all three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.23% to 78.26%, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges. The district's high spending per student, ranging from $18,001 to $19,281, may indicate a need to identify more effective strategies to improve academic outcomes across the board.
