Summary:
Zip code 66533 has two schools in the Kaw Valley district: Rossville Elementary, serving PK–6, and Rossville Junior-Senior High School, serving grades 7–12. The clearest shared strength is science: 2025–2026 proficiency was 54% at the elementary and 51% at the high school, compared with 38% statewide.
Rossville Elementary leads the two-school group in all three all-grades results: 51% versus 47% in ELA, a 4-point edge; 46% versus 38% in math, a 9-point edge; and 54% versus 51% in science, a 3-point edge. Against the state, the elementary is ahead by 6 points in ELA, 5 in math, and 15 in science. Rossville Junior-Senior High School is 1 point above the state in ELA and 12 points above in science, but 3 points below in math; its graduation rate was 98%, compared with 90% statewide. Grade results vary considerably: elementary fourth-grade math was 21 points above the state, while fifth-grade math was 11 points below; high-school eighth-grade ELA was 17 points above the state. Because the schools serve different grades, their all-grades results are not like-for-like comparisons.
Science improved most over the two reported score years: the schools’ simple average rose 12 points while the state fell 3, shifting from about 1 point below the state to 14 points above. ELA also improved on average, by 3 points, while math was nearly flat. SchoolDigger reports the elementary at the 57th percentile and 3 stars most recently, after a dip and partial recovery from the 61st percentile; the high school is at the 64th percentile and 3 stars, up from the 34th percentile but below its 70th-percentile peak. The high school has a lower student-teacher ratio (9.4 versus 13.2), yet lower all-grades ELA and math results; these figures alone do not explain performance. Chronic absenteeism was 9% at the elementary and 13% at the high school, compared with 18% statewide.
