Summary:

The 66403 zip code is home to a single high school, Axtell High, which has consistently been ranked among the top 5 high schools in Kansas for the past two school years. This small school of just 47 students boasts an impressive 89.5% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, and a very low dropout rate of 1.3%.

Axtell High's performance is further highlighted by its 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its status as a standout institution. The school's spending per student of $11,943 is higher than the state average, and its low student-teacher ratio of 8.8 suggests a more personalized learning environment. However, the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grades and subjects exceeding the district and state averages, while others fall behind.

While Axtell High's overall academic performance is impressive, the school faces some challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the state average. The school's leadership and the Prairie Hills district may need to explore ways to address this issue and continue to improve student achievement on state assessments.
