Summary:
The city of Humboldt, Kansas is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a mix of performance across the schools, with Humboldt High School standing out as the top performer, ranking 66 out of 327 Kansas high schools and exceeding the state average in 11th grade science proficiency. In contrast, Humboldt Elementary School and Humboldt Middle School have struggled, with low test scores and high free and reduced lunch rates, suggesting potential challenges within the Humboldt school district.
The data also highlights the performance of Humboldt Virtual Education, a high-performing virtual school with a low free and reduced lunch rate and a strong statewide ranking.

Overall, the analysis of the Humboldt schools provides a nuanced picture of the educational landscape in the city. While Humboldt High School stands out as a bright spot, the challenges faced by the elementary and middle schools indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students in Humboldt have access to a high-quality education.
