Summary:
The 67460 zip code area of McPherson, Kansas is home to 6 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the McPherson school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 157 out of 264 in the state with a 2-star rating, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate strong academic performance.
Washington Elementary and Eisenhower Elementary are the top-performing elementary schools, ranking 266 and 191 out of 656 elementary schools in the state respectively. Both schools have strong test scores, particularly in science, and have earned 3-star and 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Roosevelt Elementary and Lincoln Elementary show lower performance on test scores and state rankings.
At the secondary level, McPherson High School has seen improvement in recent years, moving from a 4-star to a 3-star rating, and its 10th-grade test scores in English and math exceed the state averages. However, the district's McPherson Middle School has experienced declining performance. Across the district, high chronic absenteeism rates and socioeconomic disparities, as reflected in the wide range of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility, may be contributing factors to the varying levels of academic achievement.
