Summary:
ZIP code 67864 has one high school, Meade High, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 87 students, so families have one local high school rather than several to compare. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was above the state in ELA (52% versus 46%), math (57% versus 41%), and science (54% versus 38%); the most important finding is that the school outperformed the state in all three reported subjects.
Meade High is the only school in the area, so there is no local school at the top or bottom of a comparison; its strongest results are in math and science relative to the state. Grade-matched results show 10th-grade math proficiency 21 percentage points above the state (57% versus 37%), 10th-grade ELA 12 points higher (52% versus 41%), and 11th-grade science 24 points higher (54% versus 30%). One important exception is graduation: in 2023–2024, 79% of students graduated, compared with 90% statewide, a gap of 11 points. The strong proficiency results therefore do not mean every measured outcome is above the state.
Results improved relative to the state in both subjects with two years of comparable data, especially math. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Meade’s ELA proficiency rose 4 points and the state’s rose 1; its advantage widened by 3 points. Math rose 16 points at Meade and 2 statewide, widening its advantage by 14 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 27th of 340 Kansas high schools in 2025–2026, with 5 stars and a 92nd-percentile ranking, up from 76th of 332, 4 stars, and the 77th percentile the year before. Other context measures include a 9.1 student–teacher ratio and a 48% free/reduced-lunch rate in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 15% in 2025–2026, 3 points below the state but 5 points above the district.
