Summary:
The 67855 zip code in Kansas is home to two schools: Stanton County Elementary and Stanton County Junior/Senior High School. Both schools serve a community with a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the large proportion of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, the schools in this area face significant challenges. Both Stanton County Elementary and Stanton County Junior/Senior High School perform below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grades. The elementary school has seen a slight improvement in its ranking over the past three years, but it still ranks 385 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools. The junior/senior high school has experienced some fluctuation in its ranking, moving from 187 in 2023-2024 to 219 in 2024-2025 out of 332 Kansas high schools.
Another area of concern is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% at both schools, which is significantly above the state average. This issue may be contributing to the low academic performance and suggests a need for targeted interventions to improve student engagement and attendance. Despite these challenges, the Stanton County school district maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.5% at the junior/senior high school, with a low dropout rate of 1.3%.
