Summary

Maize South High School serves 1,107 students in grades 9–12 in the Wichita area, as part of the Maize district, which SchoolDigger ranks 21st of 268 Kansas districts. SchoolDigger ranks the school 105th of 340 statewide, in the 69th percentile, with 3 stars. Its clearest academic strength is math, while science is the most important area of concern: science proficiency is below both the state and district rates.

Compared with nearby schools, Maize South ranks second in math and third in both ELA and science. Its math proficiency is 48%, 7 percentage points above Kansas, 2 below the district, and 22 above the nearby-school average. ELA is 48%—2 points above the state and 7 below the district—while science is 28%, 10 points below the state and 16 below the district. Even so, all three results exceed nearby-school averages: by 16 points in ELA, 22 in math, and 7 in science. Maize Senior High and Eisenhower High School rank ahead of Maize South overall among the 11 comparison schools.

ELA and math have improved substantially since 2022–23, rising 12 percentage points each, while science fell 5 points; the science result went from 2 points above the state to 10 below it. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile fell from 87 in 2023–24 to 69 in 2025–26, despite the gains in ELA and math. The student-teacher ratio is 15.4, close to the nearby-school average of 15.5, and the latest reported free/reduced-lunch rate is 26%, compared with a nearby average of 58%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for Military Connected Students is 7, far below the school’s overall 69; that comparison is based on few schools and merits caution. For Hispanic Students, the percentile fell from 96 in 2023–24 to 64 in 2025–26, a 32-point drop.
