Summary

Tescott Junior High/High School is a small school in Tescott, Kansas, serving grades 7–12 with 72 students. Its 2025–26 results vary sharply by subject: science proficiency was 44%, while English Language Arts (ELA) was 29%. The clearest concern is ELA: the all-grades result was 17 percentage points below Kansas and 14 points below Twin Valley, and grade 10 ELA proficiency was just 9%.

Compared with nearby schools, Tescott was lowest in all-grades ELA, third-highest in math, and second-highest in science. Its science result of 44% was above the state and district, both about 38%, and the nearby-school average of 37%. In ELA, its 29% was below the state’s 46%, the district’s 42%, and the nearby average of 38%. Math was a more moderate result: 39%, close to the state’s 41% and district’s 42%, and above the nearby average of 33%. Grade 8 stands out as a bright spot: ELA proficiency was 50%, above state and district results, while grade 8 math and science also topped state and district results.

Results improved over the full period from 2022–23 to 2025–26—by 12 points in ELA, 17 in math, and 17 in science—but all three fell after peaking in 2024–25, with science down 31 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger places Tescott at the 39th percentile with 2 stars, down 21 percentile points from the prior year. Its student-teacher ratio is a low 6.5, yet chronic absenteeism rose to 28%, above the state’s 18% and district’s 19%. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for White students also dropped notably, from the 58th percentile in 2024–25 to the 30th in 2025–26; the latest figure is 9 points below the school’s overall percentile.
