Summary:

Four schools in zip code 66701 serve students from kindergarten through grade 12: Fort Scott Senior High (grades 9–12), Fort Scott Middle School (6–8), Eugene Ware Elementary (3–5), and Winfield Scott Elementary (K–2). In 2025–2026, the high school scored below Kansas in English language arts (ELA), math, and science by 22, 16, and 14 points, respectively, while the other two tested schools were at or above the state in at least two subjects. The most important takeaway is the sharp achievement divide between the high school and the two tested lower-grade schools.

Eugene Ware Elementary led the reported all-grades results in ELA, at 49%, and science, at 42%; those results were 26 and 18 points above the high school’s. Fort Scott Middle School led in math, with 45% proficient—20 points above the high school and 5 points above Eugene Ware. The high school was lowest in all three subjects, at 24% in ELA, 25% in math, and 24% in science. These all-grades comparisons span different grade bands; Winfield Scott has no supplied test scores.

Recent results are mixed: across the three schools with year-to-year ELA and math data, average proficiency fell 5 points in ELA and 3 points in math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while state results rose in both subjects. Science moved the other way: the middle school and Eugene Ware averaged 32% in 2024–2025 and 41% in 2025–2026, moving from below to above the state average. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking for the middle school rose from 41 in 2023–2024 to 61 in 2025–2026, while the high school went from 14 to 52 to 19; Eugene Ware was 43, 39, and 43. Context measures also differ: chronic absenteeism was 35% at the high school, compared with 17% at the middle school and 12% at Eugene Ware. The high school’s student-teacher ratio was 13.9, versus 10.3 and 11.6 at the other two schools; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 47%, compared with 58% at each of them.
