Kansas

The Kansas school district serves three schools - one elementary, one middle, and one high school. While the district as a whole appears to be struggling, with all three schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state, Kansas High School stands out as the strongest performer, with a higher graduation rate and better performance in certain subject areas compared to the state averages.

The Kansas Elementary School has relatively low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (11% for all grades) and Mathematics (20% for all grades) compared to the state averages. In contrast, Kansas High School has a 26% proficiency rate in English Language Arts and 18% in Mathematics for all grades, which is on par with the state averages. Kansas Middle School falls somewhere in the middle, with a 21% proficiency rate in English Language Arts and 20% in Mathematics for all grades, slightly below the state averages.

Across all three schools, the chronic absenteeism rate is consistently high at 19.0%, which is above the state average. Additionally, the schools have very high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 87.5% to 93.22%, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges facing the district. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may also be a factor in their varying academic outcomes, with the higher-spending and lower-ratio Kansas High School performing better than the other two schools.
