Summary

El Dorado High is a public high school serving 543 students in grades 9–12 in El Dorado, Kansas. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates—27% in English language arts (ELA), 21% in math and 12% in science—were below the state and district in every subject; most notably, they were the lowest among the seven nearby schools in all three.

Science is the clearest weakness: the school’s 12% proficiency rate was 18 percentage points below the nearby-school average, 15 points below the El Dorado district and 26 points below the state. ELA was its strongest result relative to nearby schools, with 27% proficiency compared with a nearby average of 42%; it was still 6 points below the district and 19 below the state. Math was 21%, versus nearby, district and state rates of 43%, 23% and 41%, respectively. Graduation is a relative bright spot: in 2023–24, 91% of students graduated, above the state’s 90% and the district’s 80%.

Results have changed unevenly over time: ELA rose 11 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while math gained 9 points over those years but fell 7 points from 2024–25. Science declined 12 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, and its gap with the state widened by 19 points. Chronic absenteeism improved by 7 points to 29%, but remained above the state’s 18% and district’s 24%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 302nd of 340 statewide, at the 11th percentile with 1 star; its 14.4 student–teacher ratio was near the middle of the nearby group, while its 62% free/reduced-lunch rate was the group’s highest—context, not an explanation for results. In SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings, Multi-racial students stood at the 46th percentile in 2025–26, compared with 11th overall, while Hispanic students’ percentile fell from 55 to 19 in one year, signaling a sharp change in that group’s ranking.
