Summary
Kansas Online Learning Program is an alternative K–12 school serving 380 students in Lost Springs, within the Centre district. Its latest all-grades results are below the district, Kansas, and nearby Centre in all three tested subjects. The clearest academic concern is mathematics: 17% of students were proficient, compared with 39% in the district, 41% statewide, and 54% at Centre.
Science is the school’s least-below subject against those benchmarks, though it still trails each one: 25% were proficient, versus 34% in the district, 38% statewide, and 46% at Centre. ELA proficiency was 33%, compared with 45% in the district, 46% statewide, and 54% at Centre. Grade-level results show a bright spot and clear areas to watch: seventh-grade ELA reached 60%, matching the district and Centre and beating the state by 16 points. Eighth-grade ELA was 15%, about 27 points below both the district and state; eighth-grade math was 23%, 25 points below the district and 17 points below the state.
Recent results are mixed: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA fell 8 points and science fell 15, while math improved 5 points. Even with that math progress, its gap with the state narrowed by just 3 points and remains substantial. Other reported outcomes are more positive: graduation reached 100% in 2023–24, up 13 points from 2021–22 despite a dip in between, and chronic absenteeism was 0% in each year from 2022–23 through 2025–26; the earlier 2021–22 dropout rate was 6%. SchoolDigger rankings and star ratings, and the program’s student-teacher ratio, are not provided; its reported free/reduced-lunch rate is 1% for 2022–23, while Centre’s is 56% for 2024–25, so those figures are not a same-year comparison.
