Victoria

The Victoria school district in Kansas consists of two schools: Victoria Elementary and Victoria Junior-Senior High School. While Victoria Elementary has consistently strong performance, with high proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science, Victoria Junior-Senior High School has seen a decline in its rankings and academic outcomes over the past few years.

Victoria Elementary stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science, exceeding the state averages in most cases. The school has also maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of elementary schools in Kansas. In contrast, Victoria Junior-Senior High School has struggled, with proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state averages. The high school has also seen a decline in its performance and rankings, going from a 2-star to a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years.

The data also reveals potential equity concerns, as both schools have a predominantly white student population, despite relatively high free and reduced lunch rates. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school level compared to the elementary level may indicate a need to re-evaluate resource allocation and ensure equitable distribution across grade levels. Overall, the Victoria school district presents a mixed picture, with the elementary school showing stronger performance and the high school facing significant challenges that require further investigation and targeted interventions.
