Summary:
ZIP code 67219 has three schools serving a wide age range: Heights High (grades 9–12), Gordon Parks Academy (pre-K–8), and Chisholm Trail Elementary (pre-K–5). In 2025–26, all three schools were below the state proficiency results in English, math, and science; their equal-school averages were 29% in English, 20% in math, and 19% in science, compared with state results of 46%, 41%, and 38%. The most important local finding is that Chisholm Trail leads the other two schools in all three subjects, but still falls short of state results.
Chisholm Trail is the clear local standout, with 35% proficient in English and 28% in both math and science; those results are 11, 13, and 10 percentage points below the state, respectively. Its results exceed the average of the other two schools by 9 points in English, 11 in math, and 13 in science. Heights High is lowest in every subject, at 24% in English, 14% in math, and 11% in science—21, 27, and 27 points below the state. Gordon Parks falls between them overall, but has some grade-specific strengths, including sixth- and seventh-grade English and eighth-grade science results above the Wichita district figures.
Recent changes are mixed rather than showing broad progress toward state results: the average English gap widened from 14 to 17 points and the math gap from 20 to 21 points between the two available years, while the science gap narrowed from 18 to 15 points as the state result declined. Chisholm Trail’s SchoolDigger ranking percentile fell from 28th to 17th, though it still ranks highest among these schools and has one star; Heights High and Gordon Parks are each at the 8th percentile with zero stars. The elementary schools share a 13.2 student–teacher ratio, while their free/reduced-lunch rates differ: 71% at Chisholm Trail and 91% at Gordon Parks. These figures describe different school contexts, not reasons for score differences.
