Summary

Rawlins County Junior/Senior High School serves 151 students in grades 7–12 in Atwood, Kansas, where no other schools are within 20 miles. Its latest results show improvement over earlier years, but performance differs by subject: in 2025–26, proficiency was 47% in science, 44% in English language arts (ELA), and 39% in math. The key takeaway is that science is a strength against the state, while math is the school’s weakest subject against its district.

There are no nearby-school comparison records, so the supplied data cannot show how the school compares with local peers. Against Kansas, science proficiency was 9 percentage points higher, while ELA was 2 points lower and math was 2 points lower. Compared with the Rawlins County district, science was 9 points lower, ELA was nearly even, and math was 5 points lower. Grade results add detail: eighth graders were above state results in ELA, math, and science, including 7 points higher in math; 10th-grade math was 2 points below the state. The school’s 96% graduation rate in 2023–24 was above the state’s 90%, though its 2024–25 dropout rate was 3%, compared with 1% statewide.

Proficiency has risen since 2022–23: by 19 points in ELA, 19 in math, and 15 in science. Still, science fell 20 points from its 2024–25 result, and math fell 5 points, while ELA rose 3. SchoolDigger rates the school 3 stars and ranks it 113th of 340 schools statewide, at the 67th percentile—up from the 44th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–25. Its student-teacher ratio was 8.8 in 2024–25, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 36%; these figures are context, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves male students rose from the 7th to the 79th percentile between 2020–21 and 2025–26; its ranking for low-socioeconomic-status students is 19th percentile, compared with 67th overall. Chronic absenteeism has improved to 17%, below the state’s 18% but above the district’s 13%.

Open Quote This school is decent academically. For the last several years, we have experienced bullying. My child no longer reports it, because it is known that nothing will become of it. Sports teams would rather end a game early in a blowout than play second string players. If someone doesn't fit the mold, they will be picked on. My children all love living in this area, but they all wish to find a different school. Close Quote
