Summary:
Zip code 67654 has one high school, Norton High, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 181 students. In 2025–26, its all-grade ELA and math proficiency rates were each 1 point above Kansas’s, while science was its clear weak spot: 29% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, a 9-point gap.
With no other local high school to compare, Norton High is both the area’s only school and its only option in this list. Against Kansas, its strongest results were in 10th-grade ELA and math: 47% versus 41% in ELA, and 42% versus 37% in math. Its weakest result was all-grade science, 9 points below the state; the same-grade 11th-grade science gap was smaller, at 1 point below (29% versus 30%).
Results improved sharply from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose 10 points to 47%, and math rose 13 points to 42%, moving both from below the state to 1 point above it. SchoolDigger’s ranking also rebounded, from 194th of 332 schools in 2024–25 to 118th of 340 in 2025–26; its listed percentile rose from 42 to 65, though the three-year pattern was a dip followed by recovery, not steady improvement. Context figures include a 9.8 student-teacher ratio and a 46% free/reduced-lunch rate in 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism was 12% in 2025–26, below the state’s 18% but above the Norton Community Schools rate of 9%. Because the list contains only one school, it cannot show local differences among schools or how school characteristics relate to results.
