Best Public Schools in Kansas, IL

Summary:

The city of Kansas, Illinois is home to two schools: Kansas Elementary School and Kansas High School, both part of the Kansas CUSD 3 district. While the elementary school demonstrates strong academic performance, the high school faces challenges in mathematics and attendance.

Kansas Elementary School stands out with consistently high English Language Arts (ELA) test scores and impressive 3rd grade math performance, significantly exceeding state averages. In contrast, Kansas High School struggles with low math proficiency and a concerning dropout rate, along with a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the elementary school.

Both schools serve a student population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges. While the elementary school's performance suggests a strong foundation, the high school's declining statewide ranking and academic challenges highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve outcomes for students in the Kansas school district.
