Summary:
The 67336 zip code in Kansas is home to two small schools - Chetopa High and Chetopa Elementary - which both serve a predominantly low-income student population. These schools have consistently struggled with low academic performance, as evidenced by their poor statewide rankings and proficiency rates well below district and state averages.
Chetopa-St. Paul school district, which oversees both schools, is ranked 141 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Chetopa High has a small enrollment of 81 students and a relatively high graduation rate of 89.5%, but also a concerning 19.5% chronic absenteeism rate. Chetopa Elementary, with just 65 students, faces similar academic challenges and also has a 19.5% chronic absenteeism rate.
Despite the schools' struggles, there may be opportunities to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve student outcomes. The small school sizes, high per-student spending, and relatively strong graduation and low dropout rates suggest that with the right strategies, the schools could potentially make progress in addressing their systemic challenges and better serving the needs of their students.
