Summary:
The 67214 zip code area of Wichita, Kansas is home to 7 schools, including 6 elementary schools and 1 high school. These schools serve a high-need population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 84.21% to 97.71%.
Among the standout schools in this area is Horace Mann Dual Language Magnet, which has the highest overall performance on state assessments. It boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. However, it also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%. Another strong performer is Washington Accelerated Learning Elementary, with proficiency rates above the Wichita district average in both subjects.
The data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the area, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools indicate a systemic issue that needs to be addressed. While the school with the highest spending per student, Wichita Alternative High, has the lowest test scores, the data does not show a clear correlation between funding and performance, warranting further analysis.
