Summary:
The 67860 zip code area is home to three schools - Lakin Elementary, Lakin High, and Lakin Middle - all part of the Lakin school district. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.
The Lakin school district is ranked 233 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. All three schools have high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52% to 63%, suggesting a significant economically disadvantaged student population. Despite the low performance, the per-student spending across the schools is similar, ranging from $9,952 to $10,058, raising questions about how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning.
The data also shows a concerning trend of declining statewide rankings for both Lakin High and Lakin Middle over the past three years. This indicates that the academic challenges facing the Lakin school district are not being adequately addressed, and significant improvements are needed to ensure that all students in this area have access to a quality education.
