Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 67024 are two Cedar Vale Elementary and Cedar Vale High, serving 128 students combined across PK–12: the elementary school serves PK–5 and the high school serves grades 6–12. Their results show a clear difference between the schools, especially in math: Elementary is above state results in all three subjects, while High is below the state in math.
Cedar Vale Elementary stands out at the top of the two schools’ 2025–26 all-grade results, scoring 70% in ELA, 57% in math and 64% in science. It leads Cedar Vale High by 21, 24 and 19 percentage points, respectively. Elementary is also 24 points above the state in ELA, 16 in math and 25 in science. High’s results are more mixed: it is 2 points above the state in ELA and 6 in science, but 9 points below in math. SchoolDigger ranks Elementary 68th of 657 schools for 2025–26; High’s supplied 2024–25 ranking is 313th of 332. These rankings are from different years.
Both schools’ all-grade ELA and math scores rose from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but gains were stronger at Elementary: ELA improved by 15 points and math by 13, compared with 7 and 2 points at High. High’s math result rose less than the state’s, leaving it 9 points below the state, compared with 8 points below the prior year. Grade-specific results also differ: fifth grade was above its state benchmarks in all three subjects, while eighth grade was below in ELA and math and just 1 point above in science. Enrollment is similar (65 at Elementary and 63 at High), but High has a lower student–teacher ratio (6.4 versus 8.1) and a lower 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate (46% versus 55%); these figures do not explain the test-score differences. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grade results are not a same-grade comparison.
