Summary:
The 66056 zip code is home to two schools: Jayhawk Elementary and Jayhawk-Linn High, both part of the Jayhawk School District. While Jayhawk Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, it still performs above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Jayhawk-Linn High consistently underperforms the state average in these subjects, despite having a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student.
Both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, with 19.5% of students chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, a significant percentage of students at both schools come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 63.69% of Jayhawk Elementary students and 54.88% of Jayhawk-Linn High students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.
Despite these challenges, Jayhawk-Linn High maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.3% in 2023-2024. However, the school's overall performance, as reflected in its 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests that more support and interventions may be needed to improve student outcomes and address the unique needs of the community.
