Summary:
The Chautauqua County Community district in Kansas has only one high school, Sedan High, which serves students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Sedan High does not appear to be a standout school within the district or the state, as its performance on various metrics, such as test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism, is generally below the district and state averages.
Sedan High is ranked 217 out of 332 Kansas high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 244 out of 327 in 2022-2023 to 282 out of 318 in 2023-2024. Its four-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 89.5%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate was 1.3%, which is relatively low. However, Sedan High's performance on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests is generally below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas.
Additionally, Sedan High has a high percentage of students (69.68%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.8 for 2023-2024 is slightly lower than the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate for 2024-2025 was 19.5%, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest that Sedan High may face socioeconomic challenges that can impact student achievement, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve the school's outcomes.
