Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 67217 include 10 schools—six elementary, one middle and three high schools—serving 7,168 students. Across the group, average proficiency is about 25% in ELA, 14% in math and 19% in science, compared with state rates of 46%, 41% and 38%. The clearest overall finding is that most schools are well below state rates, with Ruth Clark Elementary K-5 the notable exception in science.
Ruth Clark Elementary K-5 stands out at the top: its all-grades results are 41% in ELA, 30% in math and 46% in science, leading the group by about 9, 15 and 13 percentage points, respectively. It also leads the other elementary schools in ELA and math in grades 3, 4 and 5; in grade 5 science, it is slightly above the state rate. Among high schools, Campus High Haysville leads on comparable grade-level tests, with 33% in 10th-grade ELA and 15% in 10th-grade math. At the bottom, Wichita Alternative High has the lowest all-grades ELA and science results, at 6% and 7%; Truesdell Middle School has the lowest math result, at 6%.
Recent results are mixed: the group’s average math rose 2 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while ELA fell 1 point; science rose 2 points among the seven schools with results in both years. Individual changes varied: Enterprise Elementary gained 6 points in math, while Cessna Elementary fell 5 points. SchoolDigger ranks Ruth Clark Elementary K-5 highest in the group, at the 26th percentile, although its percentile declined from 29 over three years even as its reported scores rose. Context measures do not offer a simple shortcut: Campus High Haysville and South High have similar enrollments, but Campus leads on matched tests despite a higher student-teacher ratio (19 versus 14.3). Ruth Clark Elementary K-5 also has a lower free/reduced-lunch rate than the other elementary schools; this is context, not an explanation for results.
