Ness City High School has shown fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 97th out of 318 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024 to 197th out of 327 in 2022-2023. The school has a strong 4-year graduation rate of 89.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%, but it also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%. Academically, the school has demonstrated mixed results, outperforming the state average in some subject areas and grade levels, while underperforming in others.
Despite the school's inconsistent performance, it appears to have access to more resources compared to the state average, with a relatively high per-student spending of $10,512 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7. However, the school serves a population with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the 45.83% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may play a role in the school's academic outcomes and should be considered when evaluating its performance.
