Summary:
Zip code 67410 has six schools in the Abilene district: three elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools. Proficiency results are listed for five schools; Kennedy Elementary has no scores. Across schools with results, simple average proficiency is 43% in English Language Arts (ELA), 36% in math and 36% in science, below state figures of 46%, 41% and 38%. The most important takeaway is that results vary considerably by school and subject, with math the weakest area overall relative to the state.
McKinley Elementary stands out in ELA at 63%, 17 percentage points above the state; its third-grade ELA result is 63% versus 52% statewide. Abilene High School leads in math at 45%, 4 points above the state, and has a 93% graduation rate versus 90% statewide. Abilene Middle School leads science at 47%, 9 points above the state. At the other end, Abilene Virtual School has the lowest reported results in all three subjects: 18% in ELA and math, and 25% in science.
Recent results show broad math improvement: among four schools with scores in both years, the average rose by 6 percentage points, compared with a 2-point state increase. The same schools’ ELA average was virtually unchanged at about 49% after rounding, while the state rose from 44% to 46%; school trends differed, with Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary improving and Abilene High School declining. SchoolDigger’s Eisenhower ranking was nearly steady, at the 31st percentile in 2023–24 and 32nd in 2025–26. Ratios and context measures also vary: Abilene High’s student–teacher ratio is 10.7, compared with 13.1 at McKinley and 15.9 at Eisenhower. Abilene High’s chronic absenteeism is 25%, above the state’s 18%, while Abilene Virtual’s is 6%; these figures add context but do not explain test results.
