Hesston

The Hesston school district in Kansas consists of three schools - Hesston Elementary, Hesston Middle, and Hesston High - that serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is performing exceptionally well, with all three schools ranking in the top 15-20% of their respective grade levels statewide.

Hesston Elementary and Hesston Middle are the standout schools in the district, both ranked in the top 10% of Kansas schools in their grade levels. These schools have consistently high test scores, with 56-71% of students proficient or better in core subjects. In contrast, Hesston High has a 4-star rating and is ranked in the top 15% of Kansas high schools, with test scores that are still above the state average but not as high as the elementary and middle schools.

The Hesston school district appears to be allocating resources fairly, with relatively consistent spending per student and low student-teacher ratios across all three schools. The district also faces relatively low socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the low free/reduced lunch rates. Overall, the Hesston school system is a high-performing district, and maintaining this level of excellence across all grade levels should be a priority moving forward.
