Southern Coffey County High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Southern Coffey County High School is a small public high school in Le Roy, Kansas, serving 47 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the LeRoy-Gridley school district, which is ranked 195 out of 269 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southern Coffey County High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming state and district averages in mathematics and science proficiency. In 2022-2023, 58.33% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to just 21.04% statewide and 21.25% in the district. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.4 to 7.7 over the past three years, significantly lower than the surrounding schools. However, the school's racial makeup is notably homogeneous, with 91.49% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year, in contrast to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Iola High School Virtual and Iola Senior High.

While Southern Coffey County High School has shown strong academic performance, its ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, from as high as 58th out of 320 Kansas high schools in 2020-2021 to 116th out of 327 schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 50% to 54.55% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years, higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may face unique challenges in supporting its student population and maintaining its academic excellence.
