Summary

Syracuse High serves 230 students in grades 7–12 in Syracuse, Kansas, with no other schools within 20 miles. Its latest reported student–teacher ratio is 12.5:1, and 65% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. The most important academic concern is math: 20% of students were proficient, compared with 41% statewide and 27% in the Syracuse district.

In 2025–26, 48% were proficient in ELA, 2 percentage points above the state and 7 above the district; science proficiency was 28%, 10 points below the state and 7 below the district. Eighth-grade math stands out as an especially sharp weakness: 8% were proficient, compared with 31% in seventh grade, 26% in tenth grade and 40% statewide for eighth grade. There are no nearby schools within 20 miles for a direct school-to-school comparison.

ELA has improved markedly, rising 22 percentage points since 2022–23 and moving from 7 points below the state to 2 points above it. Math rose 4 points over the same period, but its gap with the state widened from 15 to 21 points; science gained 9 points over four years, though it has fallen from its earlier high. Chronic absenteeism improved from 11% to 5% between 2022–23 and 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s latest rating is 2 stars, with a statewide percentile of 48 and a rank of 178 out of 340; its percentile has risen from 11 in 2022–23.
