Summary:
ZIP code 66441 has nine schools serving preschool through high school: seven elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, with 4,654 students enrolled. The schools’ 2025–2026 results show marked differences, especially among the elementary schools: math has the widest spread, at 40 percentage points from highest to lowest.
Sheridan Elementary leads in English language arts, Lincoln Elementary in math, and Grandview Elementary in science, with proficiency rates of 67%, 64% and 64%, respectively. Those results are 21, 23 and 26 points above the state figures in those subjects. At the lower end, Junction City Middle School has the lowest ELA result, 31%; Washington Elementary has the lowest math result, 24%; and Junction City Senior High has the lowest science result, 31%. Washington is 6 points below the state in ELA and 17 points below in math. Among elementary schools, Westwood Elementary is lowest in science, 4 points below the state.
Recent changes are mixed: the nine-school average rose 1 point in ELA, fell 1 point in math and was essentially unchanged in science. Westwood’s results fell 19 points in ELA and 18 in math, while Lincoln’s math rose 8 points; these contrasting trends show why recent averages do not tell the whole story. SchoolDigger’s three-year ranking percentile rose 19 points at the high school and 17 at Sheridan, but fell 43 at Westwood. Other school measures also differ: Lincoln’s student–teacher ratio is 17.3, compared with 12.2 at Sheridan and Grandview, while Washington’s free/reduced-lunch rate is 92%, versus 45% at Spring Valley Elementary. Grandview pairs the top science result with 26% chronic absenteeism, compared with 18% statewide.
