Summary:
Zip code 67481 has one listed school, Sylvan-Lucas Unified Junior Senior, serving grades 7–12 in the Sylvan Grove district, with 144 students. In 2025–26, its all-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 47%, just above Kansas’s 46%, while math was 33% compared with 41% statewide and science was 31% compared with 38%. The most important takeaway is that the school’s overall ELA result is slightly above the state rate, but math and science remain below it.
Results vary substantially by grade, so the all-grade figures do not tell the whole story. Tenth-grade ELA proficiency was 61%, 20 points above the state rate, and tenth-grade math was 46%, 10 points above. By contrast, eighth-grade ELA was 20%, 22 points below its state benchmark; seventh-grade math was 22%, 16 points below, and eighth-grade math was 27%, 13 points below. Science was below the same-grade state rate in both reported grades: eighth grade was 33%, 6 points behind, and 11th grade was 29%, 2 points behind. There is no other listed school in the zip code to compare against, so these are the school’s strongest and weakest results by subject and grade.
Test results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26, particularly in math: ELA rose from 40% to 47%, math from 18% to 33%, and science from 28% to 31%. SchoolDigger’s ranking also improved, from 226th of 332 schools (32nd percentile) to 82nd of 340 (76th percentile). Other measures offer a mixed picture: the 2023–24 graduation rate was 96%, compared with 90% statewide, while 2025–26 chronic absenteeism was 19%, versus 18% statewide and 13% in the district. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 10.4, and its 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate was 45%; these describe the school’s context but do not explain its results.
