Summary

Kingman High is a public high school located in Kingman, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 190 students. The school is part of the Kingman-Norwich school district, which is ranked 103 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kingman High has shown fluctuating academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 92 to 227 out of 318-332 Kansas high schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, Kingman High's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.16%) and Mathematics (40.41%) for 10th grade were lower than the district (42.45% and 41.08%) and state (37.93% and 33.59%) averages. Compared to nearby schools, Kingman High's academic performance is generally lower than Cheney High, which consistently ranks among the top 10% of Kansas high schools, and Cunningham High, which has stronger proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Despite the high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds at Kingman High, the school has been able to provide strong support and academic opportunities for these students, as evidenced by their high rankings among this subgroup. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.8% to 28.7% in recent years, which can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement. By addressing the areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and inconsistent academic achievement, and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools, Kingman High can work towards becoming a more consistently strong and equitable educational institution for its students.
