Summary:
The city of Fredonia, Kansas is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 junior/senior high school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the elementary and high school levels, with the Lincoln Elementary outperforming the Fredonia Junior/Senior High School on key test score metrics.
While Lincoln Elementary ranks 295 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and outperforms the state averages in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, the Fredonia Junior/Senior High School ranks 276 out of 318 Kansas high schools and significantly underperforms the state averages in 10th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. This disparity suggests the need for the Fredonia school district to address the performance gaps and support student success across all grade levels.
Additionally, the data reveals that the schools in Fredonia serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 53.58% to 65.38%. This socioeconomic factor may be a contributing element to the academic challenges faced by the high school. The district will need to examine resource allocation, instructional practices, and targeted interventions to support student achievement and ensure equity across all Fredonia schools.
