Summary:
ZIP code 67854 has two schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Hodgeman County Elementary (PK–6) and Hodgeman County High (grades 7–12), both in the Hodgeman County district. SchoolDigger ranks the district 46th of 268 in Kansas and gives it four stars. Both schools’ 2025–2026 all-grades ELA and math results were above state results, but science performance differs sharply: the elementary school was well above the state, while the high school was below it.
Hodgeman County Elementary led in ELA, with 61% proficient compared with 59% at Hodgeman County High, and in science, with 74% compared with 23—a 51-point gap. The elementary school’s science result was 36 points above the state’s 38%; the high school’s was 15 points below. The high school led in math, at 57% compared with 48% at the elementary school, and both beat the state’s 41%. Grade-level results add nuance: elementary math was below state results in grades 4 and 5, while high-school science was below state results in both reported grades. The schools serve different grade spans, so their all-grades results are not direct same-grade comparisons.
Results rose in most subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Hodgeman County High gained 22 points in ELA and 13 in math, while Hodgeman County Elementary gained 5 and 4 points, respectively; its largest gain was 24 points in science. High-school science instead fell by 2 points. SchoolDigger’s school rankings also improved over the period: the elementary school moved from the 52nd to the 72nd percentile, and the high school from the 68th to the 79th. The elementary school has 176 students and a 13.6 student-teacher ratio; the high school has 109 students and a 7.5 ratio. Their reported free/reduced-lunch rates were 40% and 34%, respectively—contextual differences that do not explain the schools’ varied subject results.
