Attica High

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Attica High is a small public high school in Attica, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 53 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, a lack of diversity, and high poverty rates compared to nearby schools.

Attica High's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is well below the state averages and the nearby Medicine Lodge Junior/Senior High School and Chaparral Junior/Senior High. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 20% of Attica High students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Science, and just 11.76% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 26.74%, 28.89%, and 21.04%, respectively. This has contributed to Attica High's ranking of 260 out of 327 Kansas high schools, placing it in the bottom 20% of the state.

Attica High also stands out for its lack of diversity, with over 94% of its students identifying as white, compared to 90.37% at Medicine Lodge Junior/Senior High School and 78.57% at Chaparral Junior/Senior High. Additionally, 45.28% of Attica High students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the nearby schools. While Attica High has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.3, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for its students. The Barber County North and Chaparral Schools districts will need to address these challenges to improve the educational opportunities for Attica High students.
