Summary:
The city of Melvern, Kansas has two schools serving students in grades 6-12: Marais Des Cygnes Valley High School and Marais Des Cygnes Valley Middle School. Both schools have relatively low performance, ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state. The high school has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, while the middle school also has a 2-star rating.
Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages for both schools, with some exceptions. The high school has a 52.05% free and reduced-price lunch rate, while the middle school has a 68.42% rate, indicating a high-poverty student population. Despite the low performance, the schools appear to have relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, suggesting that resources are not the primary issue.
The data provides a starting point for further investigation and potential interventions to improve the performance of these schools. Analyzing the specific areas of strength and weakness, as well as exploring the underlying causes of the low performance, could help identify targeted strategies to support student learning and school improvement. Addressing the challenges faced by these schools could have a significant impact on the educational outcomes and opportunities for the students in the Marais Des Cygnes Valley community.
