Summary

Tonganoxie High is a public high school in Tonganoxie, Kansas, serving 620 students in grades 9–12. Its latest results show a sharp rebound: English language arts (ELA) and science are now just above state proficiency, while math remains below. The most important takeaway is that results have improved substantially, but the progress is not equally strong across subjects.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength compared with nearby high schools, the state and the Tonganoxie district: 50% of students are proficient, about 4 percentage points above both state and district rates and 5 points above the nearby high-school average. That places Tonganoxie third among eight nearby high schools. Science is 38% proficient—just above the state and 3 points above the nearby average, also ranking third—but below the district. Math is the main area to watch: proficiency is 37%, about 4 points below both the state and nearby-school average, placing the school sixth of eight; it is about 1 point above the district.

Scores have risen since 2022–23: ELA gained 28 percentage points, math 23 and science 12. The biggest recent jumps came in ELA and math between 2024–25 and 2025–26, so one strong year does not yet show whether gains will continue. SchoolDigger rates Tonganoxie at the 72nd percentile with four stars, fourth among nine nearby nonvirtual schools with rankings. Its 12.9:1 student–teacher ratio is close to the nearby average, and its free/reduced-lunch rate is 32%, compared with a 34% nearby average. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for Special Education Students rose from the 16th percentile in 2024–25 to the 78th in 2025–26, above the school’s overall 72nd percentile. Its measure for Low Socio Economic Status Students also climbed sharply, from the 11th to the 73rd percentile.
