Summary:
ZIP code 67029 has one school, South Central High School, serving grades 9–12 with 88 students in the Comanche County district. The most important finding is that its 2025–26 results were below Kansas in all three tested subjects, with the largest shortfall in English Language Arts (ELA).
There is no meaningful local ranking of top and bottom schools because South Central is the only school in the ZIP-code list. Compared with Kansas, South Central scored 11% in ELA versus 46% statewide, 22% in mathematics versus 41%, and 25% in science versus 38%. Those gaps were 35, 19 and 13 percentage points, respectively. Science was the closest to the state result, while ELA was furthest behind; the school was also below the district in each subject, by 43 points in ELA, 26 in mathematics and 10 in science. Science is a relative bright spot, not a subject where the school surpassed the state.
The available year-to-year results show a substantial decline in ELA and mathematics: South Central’s ELA score fell 21 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, and mathematics fell 17 points. Kansas rose 1 point in ELA and 2 in mathematics over the same period. Mathematics had been a small exception in 2024–25, when South Central was 1 point above the state, but the next year it was 19 points below. SchoolDigger’s ranking likewise fell in its latest listed year, from 171st of 332 schools (48th percentile) to 294th of 340 (14th percentile). Other measures are mixed: the 2023–24 graduation rate matched the district at 86% but was below Kansas at 90%; 2025–26 chronic absenteeism was close to the state rate (17% versus 18%) but above the district’s 10%. The 10.5 student-teacher ratio and 47% free/reduced-lunch rate provide additional context, but do not explain the results.
