Summary:
The 67037 zip code is home to a single high school, Derby High School, which serves grades 9-12. While Derby High School is the only option for high school students in this area, the data suggests the school faces some challenges in terms of academic performance, student demographics, and overall school ranking.
Derby High School has a total enrollment of 2,156 students and is ranked 153 out of 264 high schools in the Derby school district. The school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 144 out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 186 out of 332 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars. This suggests the school's performance may be declining relative to other high schools in the state.
Academically, Derby High School's proficiency rates on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with nearly half (47.17%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may contribute to the school's academic challenges and overall performance metrics.
