The city of Moran, Kansas is home to two schools: Marmaton Valley Elementary and Marmaton Valley High, both part of the Marmaton Valley school district. While the schools have seen some fluctuations in their statewide rankings, they have also demonstrated notable strengths in specific academic areas.
Marmaton Valley Elementary has seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 522nd out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 289th out of 653 in 2023-2024. The school's performance in mathematics is particularly strong, with 47.05% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average of 31.6%. In contrast, Marmaton Valley High has shown more variable performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 191st out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 115th out of 318 in 2023-2024. However, the high school's English Language Arts performance is noteworthy, with 41.17% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 27.57%.
Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Marmaton Valley Elementary at 12.8 and Marmaton Valley High at 9.3 in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the schools are efficiently allocating their resources to support student learning. However, both schools also serve a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that they may be facing demographic challenges that could impact academic performance.
