Summary

Syracuse High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Syracuse, Kansas, with a total enrollment of 222 students. The school is part of the Syracuse District, which is ranked 212 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its consistent ranking in the bottom half of Kansas high schools over the past 10 years, Syracuse High has shown little improvement in its academic performance. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 7.8% to 19.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Syracuse High's four-year graduation rates have been relatively stable, ranging from 88.1% to 93.9% in recent years, the school's performance data suggests the presence of achievement gaps, particularly for female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Addressing these gaps and improving the overall academic performance of the school should be a top priority for the Syracuse District.
