Best Public Schools in Zip Code 67502

Summary:

The 67502 zip code area is home to 5 public schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance, a few standout institutions demonstrate strong results that parents should consider.

Prairie Hills Middle School is a top-performing middle school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Kansas middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, particularly in math and science, exceed the district and state averages. At the elementary level, Plum Creek Elementary and Union Valley Elementary also stand out, with test scores that surpass the district and state in both English Language Arts and Math, and consistent 3-4 star ratings from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, Morgan Elementary and Wiley Elementary lag behind their peers, with test scores that fall short of the district and state averages. The data suggests these schools may face challenges, such as higher percentages of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, that could be impacting their academic performance. Addressing these disparities and ensuring all students in the 67502 zip code area receive a high-quality education should be a priority for the Buhler and Hutchinson Public Schools districts.
