Summary:
Zip code 66872 has one listed elementary school, White City Elementary, serving prekindergarten through eighth grade. With no other schools in the list, the clearest comparison is with Kansas and the Rural Vista district. In 2025–26, White City’s all-grades proficiency was above the state average in ELA (52% vs. 46%), math (47% vs. 41%), and science (42% vs. 38%); the most important finding is that it exceeded the state in all three subjects.
Within White City, fourth grade is the clearest high point, while sixth grade is a notable low point in ELA and math. Fourth-grade results were 92% in ELA, 42 percentage points above the state, and 100% in math, 56 points above. By contrast, sixth-grade ELA was 23% versus 42% statewide, and sixth-grade math was 23% versus 41%. Eighth-grade science was also below the state: 30% versus 39%. These contrasts show that the school’s above-state all-grades results do not describe every grade equally; there are no other local schools to rank against it.
Results improved overall from 2024–25: White City’s proficiency rose 8 percentage points in ELA, 13 in math, and 5 in science, moving from below the state in all three subjects to above it in 2025–26. The rise in test results is not a steady rise in SchoolDigger’s rankings: the school moved from the 57th percentile in 2023–24 to the 51st in 2024–25, then to the 53rd in 2025–26—2 points up from the prior year but 4 below 2023–24. Chronic absenteeism is another positive measure: 4% at White City, compared with 11% in the district and 18% statewide. The school enrolls 140 students, has a student–teacher ratio of 11.4, and had a free/reduced-lunch rate of 48% in 2024–25; these figures provide context, but the one-school list does not show how they compare across local schools.
