Summary:
The city of Anthony, Kansas, has a small school district with 3 schools - 1 elementary school and 2 high schools, including a virtual school. The standout school in the district appears to be Anthony Elementary, which has consistently ranked highly among Kansas elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years.
Anthony Elementary has significantly outperformed the Chaparral Schools district and state averages on standardized test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across multiple grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 54.53% of Anthony Elementary students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 39.16% for the district and 31.6% for the state.
In contrast, Chaparral Junior/Senior High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, from 231 out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 286 out of 327 in 2022-2023. This suggests the need to examine the factors contributing to these differences and potentially implement strategies to improve performance at the secondary level across the district.
