Summary

Ulysses Community Learning Center (UCLC) is a high school serving grades 9–12 in Ulysses, Kansas, with 97 students. Its reported 2023–24 graduation rate was 23%, compared with 83% in the Ulysses district, 90% statewide, 96% at Ulysses High and 100% at Moscow High. UCLC’s reported 2024–25 dropout rate was 61%, versus 6% in the district, 1% statewide and 1% at Ulysses High. Taken together, these reported rates make completing school and staying enrolled the clearest concern for families.

UCLC’s strongest subject is science, while mathematics is its weakest. In 2025–26, 28% of students were proficient in science, compared with 38% statewide and 29% in the district; UCLC was ahead of Ulysses High’s 23% but behind Moscow High’s 40%. In English language arts, 15% were proficient, and in math, 8%—the lowest results among the three nearby schools in both subjects. UCLC’s ELA and math results were also below the state (46% and 41%) and district (27% and 26%) results. Science is a relative strength, but proficiency remains below the state and district in all three subjects.

Math proficiency fell from 20% in 2024–25 to 8% in 2025–26, while the state result rose; UCLC’s gap with the state widened by 15 percentage points. ELA improved slightly, from 13% to 15%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 8th percentile with no stars in 2024–25 to the 12th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, still close to Ulysses High’s 13th percentile and below Moscow High’s 34th percentile. UCLC’s reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 3%, compared with 71% at Ulysses High and 55% at Moscow High; these are differences in reported context, not explanations for results. The school’s small enrollment and sharply varying reported absenteeism—from 87% in 2022–23 to 0% in 2023–24, 81% in 2024–25 and 1% in 2025–26—make those figures worth reading cautiously.
