Summary:
The city of Hoyt, Kansas is home to two schools - Royal Valley Elementary and Royal Valley High, both part of the Royal Valley school district. While the high school is a standout performer, the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.
Royal Valley High is ranked in the top 20% of Kansas high schools, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has significantly higher proficiency rates than the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with particularly strong 10th grade performance. In contrast, Royal Valley Elementary has dropped from 199th to 415th out of Kansas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating indicating room for improvement.
The data suggests a disparity in performance and resources between the two schools. Royal Valley High spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, potentially contributing to its academic success. Meanwhile, Royal Valley Elementary serves a higher percentage of students from low-income families, which may be a factor in its declining performance. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help address these differences and ensure all students in Hoyt receive a high-quality education.
