Summary:

The 67449 zip code is home to a single high school, Herington High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has seen some concerning trends in recent years, with declining test scores, high poverty levels, and a drop in its district ranking.

Herington High School has an enrollment of 149 students and is ranked 204 out of 264 high schools in Kansas, with a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate is 89.5%, and its dropout rate is 1.3%. However, the school's test scores have seen a significant decline, with 10th-grade ELA proficiency dropping from 41.65% in 2023-2024 to 23.07% in 2024-2025, and 10th-grade math proficiency decreasing from 19.44% to 33.33% over the same period. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is high at 19.5% in 2024-2025.

One of the key challenges facing Herington High School is its high poverty level, with 64.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may contribute to the school's academic challenges and should be considered when analyzing its performance. The school's declining district ranking, from 104 out of 318 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024 to 241 out of 332 in 2024-2025, also suggests that its performance is declining relative to other schools in the state.
