Summary

Erie High School serves 144 students in grades 9–12 in Erie, Kansas, as part of the Erie-Galesburg district. Its latest results show a mix of academic progress and a concern for families to watch: chronic absenteeism was 27% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide and 20% in the district, and was higher than at the nearby schools with reported rates. It had been 7% in 2023–2024. The most important concern is that absenteeism has risen sharply even as academic scores have improved.

Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state and district, while math is its largest shortfall. In 2025–2026, science proficiency was 41%, three points above the state and one point above the district; math was 32%, nine points below the state and seven below the district. ELA was 41%, five points below the state and one below the district. Still, Erie scored above the nearby-school average in all three subjects: by eight points in science, six in ELA and three in math. It ranked second of five schools reporting science results and third of six in both ELA and math. Its 2023–2024 graduation rate was 94%, matching the district and exceeding the state by four points.

Results have risen over the available years, especially in science: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science gained 24 points, ELA 20 and math 11, though math fell sharply before its latest rebound. SchoolDigger ranked Erie 126th of 340 schools, at the 63rd percentile with three stars, up from the 13th percentile the prior year. Its student–teacher ratio was 8.7, and its 46% free/reduced-lunch rate was the lowest among nearby schools with reported data. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students reached the 89th percentile, up from the 11th in 2023–2024, notably higher than Erie’s overall percentile. Its Male Students ranking was lower, at the 40th percentile, 23 points below overall. With only 144 students, results may vary from year to year; the male-student comparison uses nonconsecutive years.
