Summary:
Zip code 67456 has one high school, Smoky Valley High, serving grades 9–12 with 243 students in the Smoky Valley district. With no other listed high schools, the results describe this school rather than a range of local options. The most important concern is the sharp recent drop in English and math proficiency: English fell 15 points and math fell 21 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26.
Smoky Valley High stands out most positively in science: 52% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 38% statewide and 40% in the district. In 11th-grade science, its 52% proficiency was 22 points above the state and 20 points above the district. English was roughly even with the state overall—46.3% versus 45.9%—while math was 2 points below the state, at 39% versus 41%. Graduation and dropout results were also favorable: the school’s 2023–24 graduation rate was 99%, compared with 90% statewide, and its 2024–25 dropout rate was 0%, compared with 1% statewide.
The English and math declines contrast with Kansas results, which rose by 1 point in English and 2 points in math over the same period; the school’s earlier advantages over the state narrowed to roughly even in English and a 2-point math shortfall. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 52nd percentile in 2023–24 to the 95th in 2024–25, then fell to the 81st in 2025–26, a 29-point net rise across the three years. Other context includes a 10.1 student-teacher ratio and 37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism was 10%—4 points above the district but 8 points below the state.
