Summary:
The 67208 zip code area of Wichita, Kansas is home to 3 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share a geographic location, their academic performance varies significantly, with Hyde International Studies/Community Elementary Magnet standing out as the top-performing school in the group.
Hyde International consistently outperforms the other two schools, College Hill Elementary and Adams Elementary, across a variety of academic metrics. In the 2024-2025 school year, Hyde International ranked 87th out of 656 Kansas elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating, while the other two schools ranked 441st and 636th respectively. Hyde International also had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, math, and science compared to the other schools in the area.
Despite the stark contrast in academic performance, the schools in the 67208 zip code face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and serving student populations with high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility. These factors likely contribute to the overall low rankings of the Wichita school district, which is ranked 245th out of 264 districts in Kansas. The data suggests the need for continued investment and support in high-performing magnet schools like Hyde International, as well as targeted interventions and resources for struggling schools serving high-poverty populations.
