Summary:
ZIP code 67220 has five public schools in Wichita—three elementary schools and two middle schools serving prekindergarten through grade 8, with no high schools. In 2025–26, the schools’ average proficiency was 33% in ELA, 21% in math, and 25% in science, compared with state results of 46%, 41%, and 38%. Isely Traditional Magnet is the clearest standout: it is the only school above the state in ELA and science, and its math result is just below the state.
Isely led all five schools in every subject, with 49% proficiency in ELA, 40% in math, and 43% in science. Its lead over the next-highest school was 16 points in ELA, 20 in math, and 17 in science. At the bottom, Stucky Middle School had the lowest ELA and math results (27% and 13%), while Jackson Elementary had the lowest science result (15%). Brooks Magnet Middle School was just ahead of Stucky in ELA—both rounded to 27%—and led it in math and science. Among the other elementary schools, Jackson had stronger ELA than Buckner Performing Arts Magnet Elementary, while Buckner was ahead in math and science.
Average results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by 4 percentage points in ELA, 4 in math, and 5 in science; the average gaps to the state narrowed most in science, by 8 points. Those averages hide declines at individual schools: Stucky’s math fell 3 points and Jackson’s science fell 8. SchoolDigger rates Isely at the 45th percentile with 2 stars; the others are at the 7th–10th percentiles with 0–1 stars. Context also varies: Isely’s free/reduced-lunch rate was 55%, versus an average of 82% at the other four schools, while Brooks outscored Stucky despite a higher student-teacher ratio (15.5 versus 12.6). These are descriptive differences, and test-score trends cover only two years.
