Summary:
The 66502 zip code area of Manhattan, Kansas is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school, serving a diverse student population. While some schools, like Marlatt Elementary and Manhattan High School West/East Campus, excel academically, others struggle, revealing significant inequities in educational opportunities across the district.
The data shows a wide range of academic performance, with Marlatt Elementary ranking 57th out of 660 Kansas elementary schools and boasting impressive proficiency rates in English Language Arts (61.93%) and Mathematics (61.33%), while Northview Elementary lags behind with only 27.42% proficiency in Math. This disparity appears to be linked to socioeconomic factors, as schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, like Northview, tend to have lower test scores.
Across the district, there are also significant variations in per-student spending, ranging from $8,670 at Woodrow Wilson Elementary to $12,183 at Manhattan High School, and student-teacher ratios, from 11.5 at Woodrow Wilson to 23 at Theo Roosevelt Elementary. These differences in resources may contribute to the performance gaps observed across the Manhattan-Ogden school district.
