Best Public Schools in Zip Code 67490

Summary:

The 67490 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Wilson Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 80 students. The school is part of the Central Plains school district, which is ranked 148 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilson Elementary School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 196 out of 660 Kansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 450 out of 653 in 2023-2024 and 443 out of 656 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics tests is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages. However, the school's overall proficiency rates in ELA and Math for the 2024-2025 school year were higher than the state averages.

Despite the school's high spending per student ($14,367 in 2018-2019) and small class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 7.2 in 2023-2024), its academic performance is mixed. The school also faces challenges with a high rate of chronic absenteeism (19.5% in 2024-2025) and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (51.25% in 2023-2024). Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach to improve curriculum, instruction, and support services for both students and teachers.
