Summary:
The 67013 zip code area is home to 3 schools - Belle Plaine Elementary, Belle Plaine High, and Belle Plaine Middle. While Belle Plaine High stands out as a strong performer, ranking 70th out of 318 Kansas high schools and earning a 4-star rating, the elementary and middle schools in the Belle Plaine district appear to be struggling, with lower test scores and statewide rankings.
The data reveals a disparity in school performance, with Belle Plaine High outperforming the state averages in 10th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates, while Belle Plaine Elementary and Belle Plaine Middle generally underperformed the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates. This suggests potential opportunities for the district to focus on improving the performance of the lower-performing schools.
Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools, ranging from 42.05% at Belle Plaine High to 54.02% at Belle Plaine Middle, indicate that the district serves a population with significant economic challenges. This may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed, highlighting the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique needs of the student population.
