Summary:
Zip code 67330 has one elementary school, Altamont Elementary, serving prekindergarten through eighth grade and enrolling 208 students. In 2025–26, its all-grade results were above Kansas averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science, with the clearest lead in science: 46% proficient, 7 points above the state. The most important finding for families is the sharp divide between seventh- and eighth-grade results.
There is no meaningful local top-or-bottom comparison because Altamont is the only school listed. Compared with the state, the school’s 2025–26 results were 47% in ELA versus 46%, 43% in math versus 41%, and 46% in science versus 38%; compared with Labette County, it was below district results in all three subjects. Grade-level results show why the all-grade picture can hide important differences: seventh graders were above state results in ELA (57% versus 44%, a 12-point lead) and math (52% versus 38%, a 14-point lead), while eighth graders were below in ELA (27% versus 42%, 15 points) and math (23% versus 40%, 17 points).
Results changed unevenly from 2024–25 to 2025–26: Altamont’s ELA fell 7 percentage points and math fell 1, while science rose 5; meanwhile, the state’s ELA and math results rose 1 and 2 points, and science fell 3. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from 314th of 653 schools in 2023–24 to 207th of 656 in 2024–25, then slipped to 273rd of 657 in 2025–26; the latest rating is 3 stars. Attendance is a favorable comparison: chronic absenteeism was 8%, versus 12% districtwide and 18% statewide. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 16.3, and 59% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch; these figures provide context, not explanations for achievement.
