Best Public Schools in Linn, KS

Summary:

The city of Linn, Kansas is home to two schools: Linn Elementary and Linn High, both of which serve the Barnes school district. Linn Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Kansas and significantly outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests. In contrast, Linn High School does not appear to be as strong of a performer, with a lower statewide ranking and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linn Elementary has a statewide ranking of 3 out of 653 schools and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with 81.81% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 73.33% in the district and 39.3% statewide. Linn Elementary also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.

While Linn High School has had some high rankings in the past, its most recent statewide ranking of 162 out of 318 high schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest it is not among the top high schools in the state. Both Linn Elementary and Linn High have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, which can be an indicator of the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. The difference in per-student spending between the elementary and high school ($13,588 vs. $12,039) suggests that resources may be allocated differently between the two levels, which could be an area for further analysis.
