Summary:
The 67140 zip code in Kansas is home to two schools: South Haven High School and South Haven Elementary School, both part of the South Haven school district. While South Haven High has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, going from a high of 53 out of 320 Kansas high schools in 2020-2021 to a low of 269 out of 327 in 2022-2023 before improving to 145 out of 318 in the current 2023-2024 school year, South Haven Elementary has maintained a relatively stable ranking, though it is still in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, ranking 431 out of 653 in the current 2023-2024 school year.
Academically, South Haven High School has struggled with proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts, where only 12.49% of students scored proficient or better across all grades in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 33.55%. In Mathematics, South Haven High fared better, with 35.29% of 10th graders scoring proficient or better, above the state average of 21.31%. South Haven Elementary had stronger proficiency rates, with 31.81% of students scoring proficient or better in ELA across all grades, and 36.35% in Mathematics.
Both schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, with relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (34.48% at South Haven High and 37.62% at South Haven Elementary). The schools also have similar per-student spending levels and relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. However, the challenges faced by these schools, particularly in maintaining consistent academic performance, suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of the students and communities they serve.
