of 340 Kansas High Schools

Better than 24% of Kansas high schools

Summary

In Oskaloosa, Kansas, Oskaloosa Junior-Senior High School serves 247 students in grades 7–12. Its latest test results are uneven: math is close to comparison averages, while ELA and science trail. The clearest academic concern is ELA: 31% of students were proficient, 11 points below the nearby-school average of 42%, and only one of the nine nearby schools had a lower result.

Math is the school’s relative bright spot. Proficiency was 38%—3 points above Oskaloosa Public Schools, 3 points below the state and roughly level with the nearby average; it ranked in the middle of the nearby group, fifth of 10 schools. ELA proficiency was 31%, compared with 36% in the district, 46% statewide and 42% nearby. Science was also below each benchmark: 31% at the school versus 37% in the district, 38% statewide and 35% nearby; it ranked eighth of 10 nearby schools. Nearby schools serve grades 9–12, so all-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.

Math has improved most over time, rising from 17% proficient in 2022–2023 to 38% in 2025–2026, while the state increased from 31% to 41%; the school’s gap to the state narrowed from 14 points to 3. ELA also rose, from 16% to 31%, but remains 15 points below the state. Science gained 9 points over four years, yet fell 14 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 24th percentile statewide with 1 star, down 44 percentile points from its 68th-percentile high in 2021–2022. One notable subgroup shift: SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for its “Low Socio Economic Status Students” group—a measure of how well it serves that group—fell from 65 in 2024–2025 to 14 in 2025–2026, below the school’s overall percentile of 24. The student–teacher ratio is relatively low at 9.2, while the free/reduced-lunch rate is 53%, the highest among nearby schools with data; these are context, not explanations for test results. Other outcomes are more favorable: the 2023–2024 graduation rate was 93%, matching the district and exceeding the state’s 90%.
