Summary:
ZIP code 66401 has two schools: Wabaunsee Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 5, and Wabaunsee Senior High serves grades 9–12; no middle school is listed. In 2025–26, both schools’ all-grades proficiency results were above the state rate in ELA, math and science. Averaged equally, their results exceeded the state by 16 percentage points in ELA, 19 in math and 10 in science.
Wabaunsee Elementary leads the reported all-grades ELA and math results, with 66% proficient in each subject versus 58% and 54% at the high school—a lead of 9 points in ELA and 12 in math. Wabaunsee Senior High leads in science, at 57% versus 41%, a 16-point difference. SchoolDigger ranks the elementary school 153rd of 657 schools (77th percentile, four stars) and the high school 23rd of 340 (93rd percentile, five stars). Grade-level results add useful nuance: elementary grade 4 ELA and grade 5 science were below their state comparisons, despite the school’s above-state all-grades results.
Recent results are mixed: elementary ELA and math were essentially unchanged from the prior year, while its science result fell by 17 points. The high school’s ELA and math results fell by 9 points each; the average school advantage over the state narrowed by 6 points in ELA and 7 in math. SchoolDigger rankings rose from 62nd to 77th percentile for the elementary school and from 66th to 93rd for the high school between 2023–24 and 2025–26, although both were below their 2024–25 peaks. Attendance also differs: chronic absenteeism was 14% at the elementary school and 21% at the high school, compared with 18% statewide. Student-teacher ratios were 10.5 and 7.5, respectively. Because the schools serve different grades and results can vary in small schools, these figures are context rather than a direct same-grade comparison.
