Schools in Zip Code 67062

Zip code 67062 is served by three public schools in Hesston: Hesston Elementary (pre-K–4), Hesston Middle (grades 5–8) and Hesston High (grades 9–12), with 853 students altogether. The schools’ 2025–26 all-grades results are above Kansas figures in every reported subject. Averaged equally across schools, scores are 20 percentage points above the state in English language arts (ELA), 23 points above in math and 13 points above in science. The clearest overall finding is that all three schools outperform the state in every reported all-grades subject.

Which school leads depends on the subject. Hesston High leads ELA at 70%, while Hesston Elementary is lowest at 63%, a 7-point spread. In math, Hesston Middle tops the group at 66%; Hesston High is lowest at 60%, a 6-point difference. Science shows the widest separation: Middle has 59% and High 43%, a 16-point gap; those are the only two schools with reported all-grades science results. SchoolDigger ranks High 24th of 340 and Middle 26th of 368, both with five stars; Elementary ranks 123rd of 657 with four stars.

Recent changes are mixed: High’s ELA and math scores rose 19 and 18 points, while Elementary’s fell 5 points in each subject. Middle gained 2 points in ELA and 4 in math, but science fell 4 points. Across the three schools, average ELA and math scores rose more than the state figures did. Other differences may help families compare schools: student–teacher ratios range from 11.7 at High to 16.8 at Middle, and free/reduced-lunch rates range from 24% at High to 30% at Elementary. Absenteeism is below the state rate at all three, from 5% at Elementary to 12% at High; High’s graduation rate is 96%, versus 90% statewide. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades scores are not like-for-like comparisons.
