Summary

McLouth High is a public high school located in Mc Louth, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 126 students. The school is part of the McLouth School District, which is ranked 201 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McLouth High has had a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 63rd out of 320 Kansas high schools in 2020-2021 (rated 4 stars) to 286th out of 318 in 2023-2024 (rated 1 star), suggesting inconsistent performance over the years. The school has performed well in certain student subgroups, such as female and male students, but its performance for white students and low socioeconomic status students has been more concerning, with rankings in the bottom half of the state. While McLouth High has had a relatively high four-year graduation rate and low dropout rate, its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have been consistently below the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Lansing High 9-12 and Basehor-Linwood High School, McLouth High generally performs worse in terms of statewide ranking, test scores, and other key metrics. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may be contributing to its academic challenges. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, focus on improving academic performance, and consider the underlying socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student outcomes.
