Best Public Schools in Zip Code 67443

Summary:

The 67443 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Canton-Galva Elementary, which serves students in the Canton-Galva school district. While the school has a relatively small student population of 189, it faces some challenges, including declining performance and higher-than-average rates of chronic absenteeism.

Canton-Galva Elementary is currently ranked 406 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a 2-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 1-star rating in 2022-2023. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (48.14%), Mathematics (34.13%), and Science (38.09%) are all below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with 42.33% of students qualifying for this program.

Despite these challenges, Canton-Galva Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and per-student spending of $11,787 for the 2018-2019 school year. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year is a concern that may be impacting student learning and academic achievement. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and identifying strategies to improve the school's overall performance could be important focus areas for the district and school administrators.
