Summary

Anderson County Junior/Senior High School in Garnett, Kansas, serves 419 students in grades 7–12. For 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranks it in the 64th percentile statewide and gives it 3 stars, the highest standing among the nearby schools compared here. However, its all-grade proficiency is below both the state and district in ELA, math, and science. The most important takeaway is that the school’s achievement is uneven: science stands out against nearby schools, while ELA is its weakest all-grade comparison.

Science is the clearest nearby strength: 37% of Anderson County students were proficient, versus 7% at Crest High and 28% at Central Heights High. Even so, the result was 1 point below the state and 3 points below the Garnett district. ELA was 35%, below both nearby schools and 11 points below the state; math was 34%, between the nearby schools and 7 points below the state. Grade-level results add important detail: 10th-grade math proficiency was 45%, above the state’s 37%, and 11th-grade science was 43%, above the state’s 30%; meanwhile, 7th-grade math was 21%, well below the state’s 38%. Chronic absenteeism is also elevated: 28%, compared with 18% statewide and 12% at Central Heights.

Recent results show improvement in ELA but little progress in math and a decline in science. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 11 percentage points, but the gap with the state widened by 2 points; math rose just 1 point as the state gained 10, widening that gap by 9 points. Science fell 4 points while the state rose 7, erasing the school’s earlier advantage. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose from 45 in 2024–25 to 64, after reaching 70 in 2023–24. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 11.7, and 44% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, the lowest rate among the nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s special-education effectiveness percentile also shifted sharply: 20 in 2021–22, 83 in 2022–23, then 33 in 2023–24, compared with overall school percentiles of 61, 69, and 70.
