Summary:
Zip code 66083 has eight schools—four elementary, two middle and two high schools—serving families across in-person and virtual settings. Results vary sharply from school to school: six schools are above the state proficiency rate in all three subjects, while two are below it in all three. The most important finding is that school choice makes a substantial difference in reported results.
Dayton Creek Elementary School stands out in science at 76% proficient, 11 percentage points above runner-up Forest Spring Middle School at 65%; the two elementary schools, Dayton Creek and Wolf Creek Elementary School, are nearly tied for the top ELA result at about 67%. Forest Spring leads math at 67%, compared with Dayton Creek’s 63%. At the other end, Kansas Virtual Academy (KSVA) and Insight School of Kansas are below the state in every subject; for example, math proficiency is 11% at each, versus 41% statewide. SchoolDigger ranks Dayton Creek 73 of 657 and Forest Spring 31 of 368; KSVA ranks 598 of 657, while Insight ranks 265 of 340.
Recent progress is mixed: the eight-school average rose 1 point in ELA and 2 points in math, but the state rose more in both subjects, while seven comparable schools’ science average rose 2 points as the state rate fell 3 points. Individual changes differ: Spring Hill High School gained 13 points in ELA, and Spring Hill Middle School gained 13 in math. Spring Hill High also leads local high schools in all three subjects and reports a 93% graduation rate, but its 23% chronic absenteeism is above the 18% state rate. Context measures also vary: student-teacher ratios range from 10.2 at Spring Hill Middle to 33.6 at Insight, and lunch rates differ among in-person schools; these figures describe school contexts, not causes of results.
