Public, Alternative Grades 1-12
Summary

Rolla Jh/High School (6-12) is a small public school serving grades 6-12 in Rolla, Kansas, with a student population of just 47 students. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, currently standing at 209th out of 318 Kansas high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the school's strengths is its exceptional performance in Science proficiency, with 74.99% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, significantly outpacing the state average of 32.28%. However, the school lags behind the state average in Mathematics proficiency, with only 23.07% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 31.6%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50% to 68.09%, suggesting it serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. The school's very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.0 to 7.5, is a potential advantage that could allow for more personalized attention and support for students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Elkhart High, Point Rock Alternative Learning Center, Hugoton Learning Academy, and Hugoton High, Rolla Jh/High School (6-12) stands out for its unique profile, with strengths in Science proficiency and a low student-teacher ratio, but also challenges in Mathematics proficiency and a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school's fluctuating statewide ranking suggests the need for consistent and targeted interventions to address its areas of concern and build upon its strengths.
