Summary:
Zip code 67737 has one high school, Wheatland High School, serving grades 9–12 with 41 students. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were below Kansas averages in all three tested subjects, with the largest shortfall in science.
Because it is the only school in the area, Wheatland is technically both the highest- and lowest-performing local school; that is not a meaningful comparison between schools. Against the state, math was its strongest subject: 36% of students were proficient, 5 percentage points below Kansas. ELA proficiency was 29%, 17 points below the state, while science was 18%, 21 points lower. Other measures give a more positive picture: the school’s graduation rate was 100%, compared with 90% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 9%, versus 18% statewide.
Recent test results weakened relative to the state in both ELA and math. ELA proficiency fell by 9 points, from 38% in 2024–2025 to 29% in 2025–2026, while the state rate rose by 1 point; the gap widened by 10 points. Math fell by 11 points, from 47% to 36%, while the state rate rose by 2 points, changing Wheatland’s comparison from 8 points above the state to 5 points below. SchoolDigger’s ranking also moved from the 67th percentile (111 of 332 schools) in 2024–2025 to the 25th percentile (255 of 340) in 2025–2026. The school reported a 6.4 student-teacher ratio and a 59% free/reduced-lunch rate; these provide context, but the available figures do not show how Wheatland compares with similar schools.
