Summary:
The 67952 zip code area is home to two schools - Moscow High and Moscow Elementary, both part of the Moscow Public Schools district. While Moscow High has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Kansas high schools, Moscow Elementary has shown steady improvement, moving from 362nd out of 656 Kansas elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 114th out of 668 in 2021-2022.
Moscow Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for all grades, with 41.93% of its students proficient or better in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to 24.99% for the district and 33.55% for the state. In contrast, Moscow High significantly underperforms the district and state averages in both subjects and across all grade levels. Moscow Elementary also has a higher 4-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to Moscow High's 0-star rating.
The data suggests that the higher free/reduced lunch rate and lower student-teacher ratio at Moscow Elementary may contribute to its stronger academic performance, as the school is able to provide more targeted support and resources to its students. However, the fact that both schools are part of the Moscow Public Schools district, which is ranked 265th out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 0-star rating, suggests that there may be broader district-level challenges that are impacting the performance of both schools.
