Best Public Schools in La Crosse, KS

Summary:

The city of La Crosse, Kansas is home to three schools - La Crosse Elementary, La Crosse High, and La Crosse Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the LaCrosse school district.

La Crosse Elementary stands out as the strongest performing school in the district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade. In contrast, La Crosse High struggles with lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to the district and state, but shows promising performance in Science proficiency.

Across all three schools, the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 9.5 to 11.7, indicating a potentially favorable learning environment. However, the high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 46.53% to 52.08%, suggest a relatively economically disadvantaged student population, which may present unique challenges for the district. The spending per student is relatively consistent across the schools, with La Crosse High spending the most at $12,906 per student in 2018-2019.
