Schools in Zip Code 67654

Zip code 67654 has three public schools in Norton Community Schools, serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Eisenhower Elementary (424 students), Norton Junior High (96), and Norton High (181). The schools’ 2025–26 results are mixed: their simple average is below the state in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, with the smallest average gap in math—3 percentage points, versus 7 in ELA and 5 in science. The clearest concern is Junior High ELA: its all-grades rate is 26%, 20 points below the state, and its grade 7 and grade 8 rates are each about 17 points below their respective state results.

Norton High leads the reported all-grades ELA and math results, at 47% and 42%, compared with 45% and 40% at Eisenhower and 26% and 32% at Junior High. High is also above the state in both subjects; its grade 10 ELA and math rates exceed state results by 6 and 5 points. Junior High’s science rate, 35%, is close to Eisenhower’s 35% and 3 points below the state, so its shortfall is not equally pronounced across subjects. All-grades results cover different grades at each school, so they are not direct grade-matched comparisons. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings place High at the 65th percentile among Kansas high schools, Eisenhower at the 38th percentile among elementary schools, and Junior High at the 23rd percentile among middle schools.

Results improved overall from 2024–25, especially in math, but school trends differ. High’s ELA and math each rose about 10 points or more; Junior High improved in all three subjects, including a 13-point science gain. Eisenhower’s math rose 5 points, while its ELA fell 5 points and science fell 14. High also has the smallest student–teacher ratio, 9.8, compared with 11.8 at Junior High and 15 at Eisenhower. Reported free/reduced-lunch rates range from 46% at High to 56% at Eisenhower, while chronic absenteeism is below the state’s 18% at all three schools: 7% at Eisenhower, 11% at Junior High, and 12% at High.
