Summary:

Trego Community High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from a high of 80th out of 325 Kansas high schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 192nd out of 327 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on state assessments (KAP) is generally below the state averages, with only 10.71% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 24.99% in mathematics, compared to state averages of 33.55% and 31.6%, respectively.

Trego Community High has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 39.29% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $13,025 in 2018-2019 compared to the nearby schools, its academic performance remains a concern. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the unique challenges faced by its student population, which is predominantly White with limited diversity.

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.
