Best Public Schools in Goessel, KS


Summary:

The city of Goessel, Kansas is home to two schools - Goessel High and Goessel Elementary. Goessel High has consistently ranked in the top half of Kansas high schools over the past 3 school years, with a ranking as high as 48th out of 327 schools in 2022-2023. In contrast, Goessel Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 235th out of 660 schools in 2022-2023 to 418th out of 653 schools in 2023-2024, indicating it is performing more average compared to other Kansas elementary schools.

Goessel High appears to be the standout school, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the past two school years and generally higher test scores than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, which could contribute to its academic performance. However, Goessel High's statewide ranking has dropped in the most recent school year, and this decline warrants further investigation.

While both schools have similar per-student spending, Goessel Elementary has a higher free and reduced lunch rate of 40.3% compared to Goessel High's 26.88%. This suggests that the elementary school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a factor in its academic performance. Additionally, the varying test scores between the two schools may indicate differences in curriculum, teaching methods, or other instructional factors that could be worth exploring further.
