Schools in Zip Code 67530

ZIP code 67530 has seven schools: five elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, serving students from elementary through high school. On average, the schools are below state proficiency levels in all three subjects: about 40% in ELA versus 46% statewide, 36% in math versus 41%, and 37% in science versus 38%. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their All Grades results are not same-grade comparisons. The clearest overall finding is that Jefferson Elementary leads the area in ELA, math and science.

Jefferson is well ahead of the state, with 63% proficiency in ELA, 66% in math and 58% in science—advantages of 17, 25 and 20 percentage points. SchoolDigger places it in the 84th statewide percentile and awards it 4 stars. Lincoln Elementary is also above the state in every subject, by 5 points in ELA, 3 in math and 13 in science; SchoolDigger gives it 3 stars and the 54th percentile. They are the only two of seven schools above the state in each subject. Results at the lower end vary by subject: Eisenhower Elementary has the lowest ELA result at 30%, Great Bend High School the lowest math result at 24%, and Park Elementary the lowest science result at 24%. Eisenhower’s science result, 38%, is just 1 point below the state.

Recent changes are mixed: Eisenhower rose 9 points in ELA, 12 in math and 23 in science, while Riley Elementary gained 3, 7 and 14 points. By contrast, Lincoln fell 11 points in ELA, and Jefferson fell 7 in math. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 7th to 18th for Riley and from 6th to 15th for Eisenhower, though Riley remains below state proficiency in all subjects. Similar enrollment does not mean similar results: Jefferson and Lincoln enroll 297 and 275 students, with student–teacher ratios of 14.2 and 15.1, yet Jefferson leads Lincoln by 12 points in ELA, 22 in math and 7 in science. Riley has nearly the same enrollment as Jefferson and a lower ratio of 12.5, but its proficiency results are lower in all three subjects.
