Summary

Leavenworth Senior High serves 1,237 students in grades 9–12 in Leavenworth, Kansas, and its SchoolDigger statewide ranking is stronger than that of the Leavenworth district: the school is at the 34th percentile with 2 stars, compared with the district’s 8th percentile. Its academic results are mixed, but the clearest concern is science, where proficiency is below the state, the district, and the nearby-school average.

The school’s strongest nearby comparisons are in English language arts and math: it ranks sixth among 11 schools in both, with proficiency of 38% in ELA and 31% in math, above nearby averages of 33% and 29%. Both results are also above the district, by 7 points in ELA and 10 points in math, but remain below state results by 7 and 10 points, respectively. Science is weaker: Leavenworth ranks seventh of 11, with 23% proficiency, below the nearby average of 27%, the district by 2 points, and the state by 15 points. For additional context, Washington High is the next-largest nearby school.

ELA and math have improved since 2022–23, while science has declined: ELA rose 12 points and math rose 13, but science fell 7 points. Attendance has also improved, with chronic absenteeism dropping 20 points from 2023–24 to 2025–26; even so, the latest rate of 31% remains 13 points above the state. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has fallen from 61 in 2021–22 to 34, though it has stayed at 34 for the last two years. Leavenworth has the largest enrollment among nearby schools and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.1, compared with a nearby average of 13.2; its 45% free/reduced-lunch rate is close to the nearby average of 45%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking is notably higher for Hispanic students, at the 76th percentile, and lower for multi-racial students, at the 18th percentile, than the school’s overall 34th percentile. These are SchoolDigger rankings of school effectiveness for each group, not ratings of individual students.

Open Quote We have been very happy with this high school. They offer a great variety of courses to challenge students at various academic levels. We have been happy with the communication from the school. The school promotes acceptance and respect of all students and fosters an eclectic student population. There are many different groups that students can join whether it be the arts, sports, music related or other which offers students an opportunity to find their niche. Again, I believe this small town feel has fostered a great environment for the students to be themselves and respect others. We will be so sad to leave this high school. Close Quote
