Summary:
Zip code 67101 includes seven schools in Maize, serving elementary through high school grades in an area where 2025–26 school results are generally above Kansas in English language arts (ELA) and math. Across the seven schools, average proficiency was 56% in ELA and 50% in math, compared with 46% and 41% statewide. Results vary considerably from school to school, and the most important exception is Maize Middle School, which scored below the state in ELA, math and science.
Pray-Woodman Elementary leads in all-grades ELA at 67%, 21 percentage points above the state; Vermillion Elementary School leads in math at 57%, 16 points above the state. By contrast, Maize Middle reached 42% in ELA and 38% in math—4 and 3 points below the state. Among the three schools with science results, Maize Intermediate School leads at 56%, while Maize Senior High scored 33%. Elementary strengths also depend on grade: Maize Elementary leads third-grade ELA at 68%, but has the lowest fourth-grade ELA result, 50%; Pray-Woodman leads fourth-grade ELA and math.
From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the schools’ average ELA result rose 3 percentage points, and their advantage over the state grew; math rose about 1 point, but its advantage narrowed by about 1 point. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking for Maize Senior High climbed from 50 to 80 over three years, while Maize Middle’s fell from 72 to 48; these are ranking changes, not test-score changes. School context figures do not offer a simple guide to results: Vermillion has a 23.1 student-teacher ratio yet leads all-grades math, while Pray-Woodman’s ratio is 13.0 and it leads ELA; their free/reduced-lunch rates are 29% and 33%, respectively, as context rather than an explanation of scores. Because schools serve different grade spans, all-grades results and the three reported science scores are not equal-grade comparisons.
