Best High Schools in Zip Code 66439

Summary:

The 66439 zip code is home to a single public high school, Horton High, which serves grades 9-12. Horton High is part of the South Brown County school district, which is ranked 175 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horton High's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the KAP (Kansas Assessment Program) tests, is generally below the state average across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 157 out of 318 Kansas high schools (3-star rating) in 2023-2024 to 298 out of 327 (0-star rating) in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

Despite these challenges, Horton High's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 could be a positive factor, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, without additional context on the school's resources and teaching practices, it's difficult to draw firm conclusions about the impact of this metric. Overall, the data suggests that Horton High is facing some challenges in terms of academic performance, but the school's inconsistent ranking and the potential benefits of a low student-teacher ratio indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and support.
