Summary

Atchison County Community Junior/Senior High serves 254 students in grades 7–12 in Effingham, in northeast Kansas. Its academic results are mixed: English language arts (ELA) is a relative strength compared with nearby schools, while science is closer to the local average. The clearest concern is mathematics: 26% of students were proficient overall, 10 percentage points below the district and 15 below the state, with proficiency at just 15% in grade 7 and 20% in grade 8.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject against nearby schools: its 39% proficiency rate was second-highest among the seven schools and 12 points above their average. However, it remained below Atchison County Community Schools at 45% and the state at 46%. Science proficiency was 32%, close to the nearby-school average of 30% but 6 points below both the district and state. The school’s 2023–2024 graduation rate was a bright spot at 96%, compared with 90% statewide, and was second-highest among the seven nearby schools.

Scores have shifted considerably over time: ELA rose from 21% in 2022–2023 to 39% in 2025–2026, while math increased from 18% to 26% over those years but fell from 37% the previous year. Science climbed from 23% to 32% over four years, after reaching 61% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and ranks it at the 51st percentile statewide, or 167th of 340; its percentile rose from 18 in 2023–2024 to 56 the next year before dipping to 51. The student-teacher ratio is 9.6, the second-lowest among nearby schools, and 42% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism rose to 26% in 2025–2026, 8 points above the state rate. In 2023–2024, SchoolDigger ranked how well the school served Special Education Students at the 76th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 18th percentile that year; this subgroup result is from one year only.
