Summary:
Zip code 67547 has one school, [Kinsley Junior/Senior High School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/KS/schools/0810001944/school.aspx), serving grades 6–12, so there is no school-to-school comparison within the area. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was below Kansas in every subject: 28% in English language arts (ELA) versus 46% statewide, 29% in math versus 41%, and 14% in science versus 38%. Math was closest to the state, while science was farthest behind. The most important concern is science: proficiency fell from 26% to 14% in a year, and the gap with Kansas widened from 15 to 25 percentage points.
Math is [Kinsley Junior/Senior High School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/KS/schools/0810001944/school.aspx)’s strongest subject relative to Kansas, but that overall result hides a grade-level bright spot: seventh-grade math was 38.1%, just above the state’s 37.8%. In the other reported math grades, Kinsley was below Kansas, including by 18 points in grade 6 and 10 points in grade 10. Graduation offers a more positive comparison: in 2023–24, 91% of students graduated, about 2 percentage points above the state rate. By contrast, chronic absenteeism was higher than both Kansas and the [Kinsley-Offerle](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/KS/district/08100/search.aspx) district: 24% at the school, compared with 18% statewide and 21% in the district.
Recent test trends are mixed, but the school’s relative standing weakened overall: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency rose by about 1 percentage point, math fell by about 1 point, and science fell by 13 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking dropped from 62 in 2023–24 to 5 in 2024–25, then recovered to 19 in 2025–26—still well below its earlier standing. The school has 135 students, a student–teacher ratio of 9.2, and a free/reduced-lunch rate of 44%; these figures describe the school’s context but do not explain its results.
