While the overall academic performance of the Leavenworth school district lags behind the state averages, one school stands out as a clear standout - Lansing High 9-12. This high school consistently ranks among the top 35 high schools in Kansas and significantly outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.

In contrast, the middle and elementary schools in the Leavenworth school district struggle to meet state standards, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.

However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with a strong correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance.

The data also suggests potential funding and resource allocation issues within the Leavenworth school district, with a wide range in spending per student, from $4,456 to $12,634. This disparity in resources could be a contributing factor to the stark contrast in academic performance observed between Lansing High 9-12 and the other Leavenworth schools.
