Summary
Field Kindley High is a public high school in Coffeyville, Kansas, serving grades 9–12 with 451 students. In 2025–26, about 31% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math, and 34% in science; the statewide rates were 46%, 41%, and 38%, respectively. The clearest takeaway is that science is the school’s relative strength, while math is its sharpest weakness and both ELA and math remain below state proficiency.
Science is the one subject where Field Kindley outperformed all three nearby traditional high schools: its 34% proficiency was above the nearby-school average of 30% and the Coffeyville district’s 29%, though 4 points below the state. Math presents the biggest concern: Field Kindley’s 24% was 17 points below the state, 1 point below its district, and 10 points below the nearby-school average of 34%. ELA was also behind, at 31% compared with 46% statewide, 34% in the district, and a 41% nearby-school average. Those nearby averages include Caney Valley High, Cherryvale Senior / Middle School, and Independence Senior High.
Results have improved: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency rose from 15% to 31%, and math rose from 4% to 24%; the gaps to the state narrowed by 3 points in ELA and 10 points in math. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also rose from the 10th percentile to the 32nd percentile, moving from 1 to 2 stars, although it remains below the state midpoint. SchoolDigger’s recent subgroup rankings were notably higher for Hispanic students, at the 61st percentile, and English Language Learner students, at the 55th, compared with the schoolwide 32nd percentile; these rankings reflect the school’s effectiveness for each group. The student-teacher ratio was 11.1, while the free/reduced-lunch rate was 71%, compared with a 58% average at the three nearby schools; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results.
