Summary

Pretty Prairie High is a public high school located in Pretty Prairie, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 82 students. The school is part of the Pretty Prairie District, which is ranked 156 out of 264 districts in Kansas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Pretty Prairie High has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 16th out of 325 Kansas high schools in 2018-2019 (rated 5 stars) to a low of 189th out of 318 in 2023-2024 (rated 2 stars). This variability suggests inconsistent performance compared to other high schools in the state. Female students have consistently outperformed their male counterparts, while low socioeconomic status students have performed relatively well. However, the school has faced challenges in maintaining academic proficiency, with mixed results across subject areas and grade levels.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Haven High, Cheney High, and Kingman High, Pretty Prairie High has generally underperformed in terms of statewide ranking and academic performance. The school's spending per student is also lower than some of its neighboring counterparts, which may contribute to the challenges it faces. Despite these challenges, Pretty Prairie High has maintained a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate, suggesting some areas of strength.
