Summary:
The 67867 zip code is home to a single high school, South Gray High School, which serves students in the Montezuma school district. While the school has a relatively small student population of 61 and a low student-to-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics falling below the state averages.
South Gray High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 191 out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 267 out of 318 in 2023-2024. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 89.5% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (45.9%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $23,719, which is above the state average, the academic performance data suggests that the resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The school's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages, particularly in Mathematics, where only 10% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 33.59%. These findings indicate that the school may need to focus on implementing targeted interventions and strategies to support student success in these core subject areas.
