Summary:
ZIP code 67053 has one listed high school, Goessel High, serving grades 6–12 and enrolling 154 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was above Kansas in English language arts (ELA), math, and science: 60% versus 46% in ELA, 46% versus 41% in math, and 39% versus 38% in science. Its reported graduation rate was 100%, compared with 90% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 12%, versus 18% statewide. The clearest headline is that Goessel’s overall results compare favorably with Kansas, especially in ELA.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom school comparison because Goessel is the only school in the list; the bigger differences appear across grades and subjects. Seventh grade is the clearest concern: ELA proficiency was 38%, 6 percentage points below Kansas, while math was 14%, 23 points below. Other reported results were much stronger: eighth-grade ELA was 77%, 35 points above the state, and tenth-grade math was 65%, 28 points above. Goessel’s all-grades results also varied against its district: it was 2 points higher in ELA, but 10 points lower in math and 1 point lower in science than Goessel. These grade-level differences may be more useful to families than the all-grades figures alone.
Goessel’s state-relative standing improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in all three subjects. ELA rose from 49% to 60%, widening its advantage over Kansas from 5 to 14 points; math rose from 36% to 46%, moving from 3 points below the state to 5 points above. Science proficiency fell from 42% to 39%, although Kansas also declined, and Goessel remained slightly above the state. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 155th of 318 schools in 2023–24 to 52nd of 340 in 2025–26, while its reported percentile rose from 51st to 85th. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 9.2, and its 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate was 24%; these figures describe context, not what explains results. The small enrollment and limited years of data mean results may fluctuate.
