SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 340 Kansas High Schools

Better than 94% of Kansas high schools

Summary

St Francis High serves grades 6–12 and enrolls 164 students in Saint Francis, Kansas; the only nearby comparison school in the supplied data is about 14 miles away. Chronic absenteeism is a serious concern: 42% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 18% statewide. Results also vary sharply by grade, and the clearest academic concern is eighth-grade ELA, where 12% were proficient—31 percentage points below the state.

Compared with the state, the school’s latest all-grade math result was strongest: 47%, or 6 points above the state; science was 42%, 4 points above, while ELA was 44%, 2 points below. Against the St Francis Community School district, science was a particular strength, 17 points higher. Compared with nearby Cheylin Junior/Senior High, St Francis was ahead in ELA by 15 points, nearly even in math (1 point behind), and behind in science by 19 points. Thus, its relative strengths depend on the comparison: science against the district, but ELA against Cheylin.

Math has improved the most over time, rising 26 points from 21% in 2022–23 to 47% in 2025–26; ELA rose 12 points, while science rose 3. SchoolDigger ranks St Francis 20th of 340 schools, at the 94th percentile and 5 stars, up from the 70th percentile the prior year; Cheylin is at the 85th percentile this year, after ranking at the 99th percentile last year. St Francis has 164 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11.6, compared with 62 students and a ratio of 6.7 at Cheylin. Its 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate was 54%, versus 50% at Cheylin; these are contextual figures, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s percentile for students with low socioeconomic status rose from 66 in 2024–25 to 99 in 2025–26, after standing at 89 in 2023–24—a striking but uneven change in how well the school ranks for this group.
