Summary

Chanute High is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Chanute, Kansas, with 528 students. Its 2025–26 results show stronger achievement in math and English language arts (ELA) than the state and district, but weaker science results. Mathematics is its clearest academic strength: 50% of students were proficient, compared with 41% statewide and 38% in Chanute Public Schools, the highest math result among nearby schools.

Math stands out even among nearby schools: the average was 26%, and the next-highest result, at St. Paul High School, was 45%. ELA is also above the state and district: 48% proficient, compared with 46% statewide and 44% in the district. It ranks second among nearby schools, behind St. Paul at 55%. Science is the main weakness: 31% were proficient, versus 38% statewide and 32% in the district. That is slightly above the nearby-school average of 29%, but the result ranks fourth among seven schools; Neodesha High, St. Paul and Erie High School scored higher.

Math proficiency rose from 14% in 2022–23 to 50% in 2025–26, a gain of 37 percentage points, turning a 18-point gap below the state into a 9-point lead. SchoolDigger ranks Chanute 90th of 340 statewide, at the 74th percentile with 4 stars; its percentile rose 8 points from the prior year, but remains below its 79th-percentile standing in 2023–24. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ranking places Special Education Students at the 95th percentile, 21 points above the school overall; its ranking for Hispanic Students jumped from the 10th to the 74th percentile between 2024–25 and 2025–26. The student–teacher ratio is 13.1, higher than at most nearby traditional high schools, and the free/reduced-lunch rate is 53%, close to the nearby average of 52%. Graduation was 92% in 2023–24, while chronic absenteeism was 19% in 2025–26, above the state’s 18%. Some nearby schools serve different grade spans or operate virtually, so comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
