Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66763

Summary:

The 66763 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Frontenac Public Schools district, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Based on the data provided, Frontenac Junior High stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently ranking among the top 84 middle schools in Kansas and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Frontenac Senior High School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 51 out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 208 out of 332 in 2024-2025.

The data also reveals some concerning trends across the schools in the 66763 zip code area. All 3 schools have alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, socioeconomic factors appear to be playing a role, as Frank Layden Elementary, with the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, also has the lowest test scores in Mathematics and Science compared to the other schools.

Overall, the data provides valuable insights into the performance and characteristics of the schools in the 66763 zip code area. While Frontenac Junior High stands out as a strong performer, the declining performance of Frontenac Senior High School and the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools are areas of concern that the Frontenac Public Schools district and the community will need to address.
