Summary:
Zip code 66086 has three schools serving preschool through grade 12: Tonganoxie Elementary (PK–5), Tonganoxie Middle School (6–8), and Tonganoxie High (9–12). Enrollment ranges from 433 students at the middle school to 919 at the elementary school, and student-teacher ratios are similar, from 12.9 to 14.5. In 2025–26, the three schools averaged 47% in ELA and 42% in science, both above state results, but averaged 37% in math versus 41% statewide. The clearest shared concern is math: every school scored below the state.
The schools stand out in different subjects rather than one leading across the board. Tonganoxie Elementary led science at 50%, about 12 points above the other schools’ average and 12 points above the state; it also had the highest local math result, 39%, though still 2 points below the state. Tonganoxie High led ELA at 50%, 5 points above the other schools’ average and 4 points above the state. Tonganoxie Middle School had the lowest all-grades math result at 35%—6 points below the state and 3 points below the other schools’ average. Its grade-level results varied: 7th-grade math was above the state, while 8th-grade math was 10 points below.
Group averages improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose 7 points, from 40% to 47%, and math rose 6 points, from 31% to 37%; the state’s gains were 1 and 2 points, respectively. Progress was not uniform: elementary ELA fell 3 points, while all three schools improved in math. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 statewide rankings also differ: High was at the 72nd percentile, Middle at the 52nd, and Elementary at the 39th; High had rebounded 43 percentile points from the prior year, while Elementary continued a decline. Reported free/reduced-lunch rates were fairly close—32% at High, 33% at Middle, and 35% at Elementary—so these figures offer context but do not sort the schools into a clear academic pattern.
