Summary
Republic County Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Belleville, Kansas, serving 245 students in grades 6–12. SchoolDigger ranked it 130th of 340 Kansas schools in 2025–26, at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars. The most important concern is that its latest all-grades proficiency was below both the state and district in ELA and math.
Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, while ELA is its weakest. Republic County’s science proficiency was 37%, just below the state’s 38% and above the nearby-school average of 36%; it ranked second among the four schools. In ELA, its 34% was below the state and Republic County district, both at about 46%, and below the nearby average of 39%; it ranked third of four. Math showed a similar shortfall: 35% at Republic County, compared with 41% statewide, 45% in the district, and a nearby average of 38%. Among nearby schools, Clifton-Clyde Senior High had the highest SchoolDigger percentile at 76, followed by Republic County at 62, Concordia Junior-Senior High at 54, and Pike Valley High at 37.
Math and science proficiency rose over the four reported years, by 15 and 12 percentage points, respectively, while ELA rose 6 points; however, all three subjects fell further behind the district. SchoolDigger’s overall standing improved from the 47th percentile in 2024–25 to the 62nd in 2025–26, but remains below its stronger earlier years. Two group rankings stand out: Female Students ranked 38th of 270 schools, at the 86th percentile, while Low Socio Economic Status Students ranked 61st of 238, at the 74th percentile—up from the 6th percentile two years earlier. The student–teacher ratio was 10.8, and 52% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25; these provide context, not an explanation for the results. Other outcomes are more positive: the graduation rate was 91% in 2023–24, above the state’s 90%, and chronic absenteeism fell to 12% in 2025–26 from 22% in 2023–24.
