St Francis Community School

Summary:

The St Francis Community School district in Kansas operates two schools: St Francis High School and St Francis Elementary School. While the high school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, the elementary school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, indicating it may be an area of concern for the district.

At the high school level, St Francis High School has outperformed the state average in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across most grade levels. However, the school has struggled with Science proficiency and its statewide ranking has ranged from 99th out of 332 schools in 2024-2025 to 278th out of 318 schools in 2023-2024, suggesting inconsistent performance. In contrast, St Francis Elementary School has consistently performed below the state average in ELA, Math, and Science proficiency, ranking 518th out of 656 Kansas elementary schools in 2024-2025 and 500th out of 653 in 2023-2024.

Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The district's per-student spending and student-teacher ratios are similar between the high school and elementary school, suggesting an even allocation of resources. However, the stark differences in academic performance indicate that the current funding and resource allocation may not be effectively addressing the needs of the underperforming elementary school.
