Summary

Labette County High School is a public school in Altamont, Kansas, serving grades 9–12 with 483 students in the Labette County district. Its strongest headline is graduation: 98% of students graduated in 2023–24, about 9 points above the state rate and 4 points above the district rate, and the highest rate among nearby schools reporting results.

Academically, the school leads nearby schools in English language arts (ELA) and science, but its math results leave the clearest gap against state and district peers. In 2025–26, proficiency was 46% in ELA, 30% in math and 37% in science. ELA essentially matched the state; math was 11 points below the state and 18 below the district, while science was 2 points below the state and 11 below the district. Compared with nearby schools reporting results, Labette County had the highest ELA and science proficiency and the second-highest math result: 29.5%, just below Cherryvale Senior / Middle School at 29.9%.

Results have improved substantially since 2022–23—up 23 points in ELA, 13 in math and 17 in science—but the latest year brought declines of 3 points in ELA and 5 in math. Chronic absenteeism also remains a concern: it fell to 23% from 28% in 2022–23, but is still above the state’s 18% and district’s 12%. SchoolDigger ranks the school 143rd of 340 statewide, at the 58th percentile with 3 stars; that is 10 percentile points below the prior year but 31 above 2023–24. Its student-teacher ratio is 12.3, compared with a nearby-school average of 10.3. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a notable contrast: Low Socio Economic Status Students rank at the 82nd percentile, above the school’s overall 58th, while Special Education Students ranked at the 22nd percentile in 2024–25, below the school’s overall 68th that year.
