Maize Senior High

Summary:

Maize Senior High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Maize, Kansas, with a total enrollment of 1,289 students. The school is part of the Maize School District, which is ranked 36 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maize Senior High consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. However, the school's performance among different student subgroups is mixed, with female and white students performing well, but Asian, African American, Hispanic, and multi-racial students, as well as students with special needs, low socioeconomic status, and military connections, all performing in the bottom half or bottom third of the state. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spends $8,768 per student, which is lower than the nearby Goddard and Wichita high schools.

While Maize Senior High has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined from 31 in 2017-2018 to 160 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance may be slipping relative to other high schools in Kansas. The significant differences in performance among student subgroups suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and providing more targeted support for underperforming subgroups. Exploring opportunities to increase funding and resources could potentially help address some of these challenges and continue to provide a high-quality education for all students at Maize Senior High.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
