Summary:
ZIP code 67460 has six schools serving elementary through high school—four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school—with 2,117 students enrolled. The schools show very different results: in 2025–2026, the six-school average was 9 points above the state in science, 3 points above in ELA and essentially even in math. The most important finding is the wide divide between Washington Elementary, which led in every subject, and McPherson High, which had the lowest results in every subject.
Washington scored 65% in ELA, 58% in math and 57% in science. Its results were 19, 17 and 19 percentage points above the state, respectively. McPherson High scored 31% in ELA, 27% in math and 34% in science—15 points below the state in ELA and 14 points below in math. Among the elementary schools, Eisenhower Elementary was also consistently strong, ranking second in ELA and math. Lincoln Elementary had the lowest elementary math result, at 38%, while Roosevelt Elementary scored 47% in ELA and 40% in math. Overall, the school-to-school gaps were 34 points in ELA, 31 in math and 23 in science.
Recent changes were mostly positive at the elementary level, but not at the high school. Across the six schools, average ELA rose 3 points and math rose 4 points from 2024–2025; Roosevelt gained 14 points in ELA, while Washington gained 13 points in math. Science rose 24 points at Roosevelt and 31 at Washington. In contrast, McPherson High’s math fell 9 points. SchoolDigger’s rankings rose 18 percentile points for Lincoln and 16 for Roosevelt, while the high school fell 20. Reported lunch rates range from 35% at Eisenhower to 68% at Roosevelt; these are context, not an explanation of results. All Grades comparisons span different grade levels, so same-grade figures are more directly comparable.
