Best High Schools in Zip Code 67525

Zip code 67525 has two listed high schools, both serving grades 7–12: Central Plains Adult Diploma Program and Central Plains Junior Senior High School. Only the Junior Senior High School has test-score results, so the available figures do not show how the schools compare academically. Its 2025–2026 all-grades English Language Arts result was 46.3%, close to the state’s 45.9%, and math was 43% versus 41%; science was the clearest concern, at 24% versus 38% statewide, or 14 percentage points lower.

The Junior Senior High School’s strongest grade-level comparisons are seventh-grade ELA, at 57% versus 44% statewide, and eighth-grade math, at 50% versus 40%. Its largest shortfall is eleventh-grade science: 13% versus 30%, an 18-point gap. The Adult Diploma Program stands out for chronic absenteeism, not test scores: its reported rate is 74%, compared with 18% at the Junior Senior High School and 18% statewide. The Junior Senior High School’s graduation rate was 85%, below the state’s 90%. SchoolDigger rates it 1 star and places it at the 28th percentile, ranking 246 of 340 schools; SchoolDigger gives the Central Plains district 3 stars and the 63rd percentile.

Results have improved sharply in ELA and math but fallen in science: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the school rose 11 percentage points in ELA and 15 in math, while science dropped 12 points. The three-subject average gap with the state narrowed from 8 points to 4, but that average masks the worsening science result. SchoolDigger’s percentile also fell from 42 to 28 over the same two years, a different measure that does not track the ELA and math gains. The Junior Senior High School reports enrollment of 152, a student–teacher ratio of 9.8, and a free/reduced-lunch rate of 39%; the Adult Diploma Program reports enrollment of 770 but no comparable ratio or lunch figure. The attendance difference is striking, but the supplied figures do not explain its cause or establish a link to academic results.
