Summary:

ZIP code 67861 has one school, Wichita County Junior-Senior High School, serving grades 7–12 with 187 students, so there is no local school-to-school comparison. In 2025–26, its all-grades ELA proficiency was 46%, just above the state’s 46%; math was 40%, close to the state’s 41%. The clearest concern is science: 25% were proficient, 13 percentage points below the state’s 38%.

Within the school, grades 7 and 10 stood out in ELA and math, while grade 8 math and grade 11 science were the weakest state comparisons. Grade 7 ELA was 52% versus 44% statewide, and math was 43% versus 38%. Grade 10 ELA was 48% versus 41%, and math was 44% versus 37%. By contrast, grade 8 math was 32% versus 40% statewide, and grade 11 science was 13% versus 30%—the largest reported grade-level shortfall, at 17 percentage points. Grade 8 ELA was also below the state, 39% versus 42%.

Results improved sharply in ELA and math from 2024–25, but science declined. ELA rose 13 percentage points to 46%, and math rose 13 points to 40%; statewide, those subjects increased by 1 and 2 points, respectively. Science fell 12 points to 25%, while the state fell 3 points, and the school’s science deficit widened by 8 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 164th of 340 in 2025–26, at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars, up from 188th of 332, the 43rd percentile and 2 stars, the prior year; its 2023–24 percentile was 60. Other indicators are mixed: graduation was 91% versus 90% statewide in 2023–24, while chronic absenteeism was 17% versus 18% statewide and 14% in the district. The 10.1 student–teacher ratio and 53% free/reduced-lunch rate provide context, not an explanation for results.
