Summary
Lansing High 9-12 enrolls 860 students in grades 9–12 in Leavenworth, among a varied group of nearby high schools. Its results are stronger than nearby averages in English language arts (ELA) and math, but the clearest academic concern is science: 31% of students were proficient, 7 percentage points below the state and 5 below the district.
Math is a relative strength: 45% were proficient, 4 points above the state and about even with the Lansing district. ELA proficiency was 47%, 1 point above the state but 4 points below the district. Lansing exceeded nearby-school averages in all three subjects—by 12 points in ELA, 13 in math and just 3 in science—and ranked fourth among the 11 schools for ELA and math, and sixth for science. Graduation is another positive: the 2023–24 rate was 92%, matching the district and exceeding the state by 3 points. In 2024–25, the free/reduced-lunch rate was 30%, compared with a 44% nearby-school average; this is useful context, not an explanation for results.
Over time, math proficiency rose 13 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while ELA fell 4 points and science fell 5. Chronic absenteeism, however, climbed from 23% in 2023–24 to 30% in 2025–26, 8 points above the district and 12 above the state, although below the nearby-school average of 38%. SchoolDigger ranks Lansing 106th of 340 schools, at the 69th percentile with 3 stars; its percentile has fallen 22 points since 2022–23. Its student-teacher ratio is 15.8, compared with a nearby average of about 14. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell to the 36th percentile in 2025–26, 33 points below the school overall and 37 points below that group’s 2023–24 standing. By contrast, its ranking for African American Students reached the 89th percentile, 20 points above the school overall.
