Summary:
The 67576 zip code is home to two schools: St John Elementary and St John High, both part of the St John-Hudson district. While the elementary school has shown strong performance in English Language Arts, the high school has faced challenges, particularly in 7th and 8th grade test scores. However, the high school's performance has been improving, with its SchoolDigger rating increasing from 1 to 3 stars over the past three years.
At the elementary level, St John Elementary has consistently maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, with its ELA proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, St John High has struggled with lower test scores in both ELA and Mathematics, though its performance has been improving. The high school has also maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 89.5% in 2023-2024, a positive indicator of student success.
One area of concern for both schools is the high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 19.5% in 2024-2025. This issue may be impacting student learning and achievement and should be a priority for the district to address. Additionally, the higher free/reduced lunch rate at the high school compared to the elementary school suggests different socioeconomic challenges faced by the student populations, which could contribute to the observed performance disparities.
