Summary:
The 67861 zip code area is home to two schools - Wichita County Elementary and Wichita County Junior-Senior High School. While both schools serve the Leoti district, the elementary school appears to be the standout performer, ranking in the top 18% of Kansas elementary schools and consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Wichita County Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with particularly strong results in 3rd and 4th grades. The school also maintains a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 55.24% and spends $10,974 per student, which is higher than the state average. In contrast, the junior-senior high school lags behind the state averages in ELA and Math, with 10th grade Math proficiency at just 25% compared to 21.31% statewide.
The significant performance gap between the elementary and high school raises questions about the factors contributing to this disparity and the need to investigate strategies to improve the high school's outcomes. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school level does not appear to be translating into better academic performance, suggesting the need to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation. Overall, the data highlights the strengths of Wichita County Elementary and the opportunities for the Leoti district to leverage these best practices to drive improvements across the district.
