Best Public Schools in Bucklin, KS

Summary:

The city of Bucklin, Kansas is home to two schools - Bucklin Elementary and Bucklin High. While Bucklin Elementary is ranked 411 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools, Bucklin High stands out as the stronger-performing school, ranking 118 out of 318 Kansas high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bucklin High has higher test scores than the state average in several areas, including 10th grade English Language Arts (35.29% proficient vs. 27.57% statewide) and 11th grade Science (31.25% proficient vs. 27.37% statewide). Additionally, Bucklin High spends more per student ($15,526) compared to Bucklin Elementary ($12,104) and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 7.7 compared to 12.7 at the elementary school.

However, Bucklin High has experienced some inconsistency in its performance, with a 3-star rating in 2021-2022, a 1-star rating in 2022-2023, and a 3-star rating again in 2023-2024. This suggests there may be some instability or fluctuations in the school's quality. Additionally, the significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools (52.9% at Bucklin Elementary vs. 33.8% at Bucklin High) suggests that the student populations may have different socioeconomic backgrounds, which could impact academic performance and resource needs.
