Best High Schools in Zip Code 67878

High schools in zip code 67878 consist of one school, Syracuse High, serving grades 7–12 and enrolling 230 students. Its latest results show a clear split by subject: English language arts (ELA) was slightly above the Kansas rate, while math and science were below it. Math is the most important concern: proficiency was 20% at Syracuse, compared with 41% statewide, and 8th-grade math was 8% versus 40% statewide—a gap of 32 percentage points.

Because Syracuse is the only school listed, there are no local schools to rank against one another; its strongest and weakest results are within the school’s own subjects and grades. ELA was its strongest subject, at 48% compared with 46% statewide, while science was 28% versus 38%, and math was 20% versus 41%. Math was also below the 27% district rate. Grade results show why the all-grades figures can hide variation: 10th-grade ELA was 59% versus 41% statewide, and 7th-grade ELA was 47% versus 44%; 8th-grade ELA was 41% versus 42%. Math was below the state in all three reported grades, with the largest gap in 8th grade.

Syracuse’s ELA results improved notably year over year, rising from 39% in 2024–25 to 48% in 2025–26, while the state rate rose from 44% to 46%; the school moved from 6 points below the state to 2 points above it. Math fell by 1 point and science by 4 points, so the improvement was not broad across subjects. SchoolDigger’s ranking history also improved: Syracuse moved from the 24th percentile in 2023–24 to the 48th percentile in 2025–26.
