Summary

Argonia High serves grades 6–12 and enrolls 84 students in Argonia, Kansas. In 2025–26, all-grades proficiency was 42% in math, 35% in English language arts (ELA) and 25% in science. Results vary considerably across subjects and grades, but the clearest concern is science: proficiency was 13 percentage points below the state and 26 points below the average for nearby schools with reported scores.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state: 42% proficiency was about 1 point above the state, though 5 points below the district and nearby-school averages. ELA proficiency of 35% was 11 points below the state, 10 points below the district and 2 points below the nearby-school average. Science was the weakest result: 25% was 12 points below the district, and Argonia ranked lowest among five nearby schools with scores. Grade-level results show both strengths and challenges: grade 6 math was 82%, compared with 41% statewide, while grade 8 math was 9%, versus 40% statewide. Grade 10 ELA was 14%, 26 points below the state and lower than results at all four nearby schools reporting that grade.

Math has improved substantially, rising 31 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26. ELA is up 14 points over that period, but fell 13 points from 2024–25; science declined 3 points from its 2022–23 level. SchoolDigger rated Argonia 293rd of 340 schools, at the 14th percentile with 1 star, after ranking it at the 91st percentile in 2023–24 and 92nd in 2021–22. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 9.1, the second-lowest among nearby schools with reported figures. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was 37%, below the 48% average among nearby schools reporting a rate; this is context, not an explanation for results. Other indicators are more positive: graduation was 92%, compared with 90% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 6%, down from 20% the prior year and below the state’s 18%. The Argonia Public Schools district received 2 stars and ranked at the 38th percentile. Because the school enrolls 84 students, results—particularly by grade—may vary from year to year.
