Summary:
ZIP code 67333 has two Caney Valley schools serving 793 students combined: Lincoln Memorial Elementary serves prekindergarten through grade 6, and Caney Valley High serves grades 7–12. The standout finding is how sharply their results differ, especially in science: Lincoln scored 82% and the high school 33%, a 48-point gap.
Lincoln leads the two-school group in all three 2025–26 subjects, scoring 63% in ELA, 61% in math, and 82% in science—17, 20, and 44 points above the state, respectively. The high school scored 49% in ELA, 39% in math, and 33% in science: 4 points above the state in ELA, but 2 points below in math and 5 below in science. Its all-grades picture does not apply to every grade: grade 7 is above the state by 20 points in ELA and 4 in math, and grade 10 is above by 3 points in each. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades scores are not like-for-like comparisons of the same grades.
Recent trends reinforce the contrast: Lincoln’s science score rose 5 points from 2024–25, while its ELA fell 2 and math was essentially flat; the high school fell 4 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 34 in science. SchoolDigger rankings also diverged, with Lincoln moving from the 86th to the 88th percentile and the high school from the 77th to the 60th. Lincoln’s chronic absenteeism was 1%, compared with 18% at the high school. Lincoln had a higher student–teacher ratio (18.6 versus 12.1) and free/reduced-lunch rate (51% versus 43%); these are observations, not explanations for the score differences. The high school’s 2023–24 graduation rate was 100%, compared with 94% districtwide and 90% statewide.
