Summary:

The city of Herington, Kansas is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Herington Elementary, Herington High, and Herington Middle School. These schools are part of the Herington school district.

Herington Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, ranking 115 out of 660 Kansas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with particularly strong results in 4th grade English Language Arts. In contrast, Herington High has shown significant improvement, rising from a ranking of 265 out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 104 out of 318 in 2023-2024, with 10th grade English Language Arts proficiency exceeding the state average.

While the schools in Herington have varying levels of performance, they all face the challenge of high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 60.26% to 74.33% in 2022-2023. This suggests a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Additionally, the schools have notable differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the observed academic outcomes.
