Summary

Trego Community High in WaKeeney, in western Kansas, serves 113 students in grades 9–12. Its graduation rate was 100% in each of the four years from 2020–21 through 2023–24, even as its latest test results show a sharp split: math is a clear strength, while ELA and science are the school’s biggest academic concerns.

Math proficiency was 65% in 2025–26, ahead of the state at 41%, the Trego County district at 37%, and nearby Quinter Junior-Senior High at 41% and Ellis Junior/Senior High at 38%. ELA proficiency, by contrast, was 12%—34 percentage points below the state, 30 points below the district, and below the nearby schools’ average of 48%. Science was 23%, also behind the state at 38%, the district at 36%, and the nearby average of 52%. These comparisons make the math result stand out, but also show that it does not reflect performance across every subject.

Math proficiency climbed from 12% in 2022–23 to 65% in 2025–26, while science fell from 43% to 23% over the available years; ELA ended near where it began, at 12%. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 37th statewide percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, down from the 62nd percentile the year before. Its student–teacher ratio was 7.2, compared with a nearby-school average of 9.1, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 39%, versus 36% nearby—context, not an explanation for test results. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup swing was for students with low socioeconomic status: the school’s percentile for how well it serves this group rose from the 8th percentile in 2023–24 (rank 229 of 249) to the 78th in 2024–25 (rank 54 of 246).
