Sharon Springs Elementary shows strong ELA and math results alongside a notable science weakness.

Results also vary by grade: its fourth-grade math advantage was just 1 point, while seventh-grade ELA was 26 points above Kansas. Fifth-grade science was 27%, 18 points below the state. Wallace County High also reported 80% all-grades proficiency in both ELA and math, compared with 44% and 39% statewide, respectively. These results point to different strengths, not a like-for-like school comparison.
At Sharon Springs Elementary, ELA rose 6 percentage points and math 4 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while science fell 24 points; SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking declined from the 81st to the 67th across those reported years. Wallace County High’s SchoolDigger percentile rose from the 86th to the 99th between 2022–23 and 2024–25. Context measures also differ: student–teacher ratios were 10.4 at the elementary school and 7.5 at the high school, while chronic absenteeism was 16% and 7%, respectively; both were below Kansas’s 18%. Their free/reduced-lunch rates rounded to 40% and 41%, and reported per-student spending was nearly identical at about $19,100. The high school reported a 100% graduation rate, versus 90% statewide. Because the schools serve different grades and their achievement results cover different years, the data do not support a direct achievement ranking between them.
