Summary:
Zip code 67740 has two schools in Hoxie Elementary (pre-K through grade 6) and Hoxie High (grades 7–12), serving 253 and 179 students, respectively. Their 2025–26 all-grades results are above Kansas averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The clearest difference is science: High is 14 points above the state, while Elementary is 2 points above. Overall, both schools exceed state results in all three subjects, but the size of that advantage varies considerably.
Neither school leads in every subject: Elementary has the stronger all-grades ELA result, at 52% versus High’s 48%, while High leads in math, 48% to 46%, and science, 52% to 40%. Those school-to-school gaps are 4 points in ELA, 2 in math and 12 in science. Grade-level results add important detail: High’s eighth-grade science is 69%, 30 points above the state; Elementary’s sixth-grade ELA is 53%, 11 points above. Results also fall below state levels in some grades, including Elementary third-grade math (24%, 19 points below the state) and High seventh-grade ELA (40%, 4 points below). SchoolDigger ranks Elementary 303rd of 657 Kansas elementary schools (54th percentile) and High 139th of 340 high schools (59th percentile).
Recent results show different paths, especially in science: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Elementary science fell 21 points, from 61% to 40%, while High science rose 13 points, from 38% to 52%. SchoolDigger’s percentile rankings also declined over the three reported years, by 22 points for Elementary and 30 for High. Other indicators offer useful context: High’s graduation rate is 94%, 4 points above the state, but its chronic absenteeism is 22%, compared with 18% statewide; Elementary’s absenteeism is 35%. Reported free- or reduced-price lunch rates are 38% at Elementary and 33% at High. These figures describe the schools but do not explain their results, and the schools serve different grade spans.
