Summary:
The 67525 zip code area is home to two high schools: Central Plains Adult Diploma Program, a virtual high school, and Central Plains Junior Senior High School, a traditional public high school. While the virtual school has a low dropout rate, both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and below-average student performance on standardized tests.
Central Plains Junior Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 162 out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 192 out of 332 in 2024-2025. The school also has a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 89.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, and student performance on standardized tests is below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
In contrast, Central Plains Adult Diploma Program, as a virtual high school, serves a different student population. While the school has a low dropout rate of 1.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, it also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% for the 2024-2025 school year, which may be a concern. The data highlights the distinct characteristics and challenges faced by both traditional and virtual high schools in the Central Plains district.
