Summary:
The city of Marysville, Kansas is home to two schools: Marysville Elementary and Marysville Junior/Senior High. While the schools have seen some fluctuations in their statewide rankings, they each exhibit a mix of strengths and areas for improvement based on their academic performance, resource allocation, and student demographics.
Marysville Junior/Senior High has a higher statewide ranking compared to the elementary school, ranking 140 out of 318 Kansas high schools for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly below the state averages, with some exceptions, such as a higher 11th-grade science proficiency rate. In contrast, Marysville Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, but its academic performance varies across grade levels and subject areas, with some grades exceeding the state averages and others falling below.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as Marysville Elementary has a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 56.94%, indicating a larger population of economically disadvantaged students. This is in contrast to Marysville Junior/Senior High, which has a lower free and reduced lunch rate of 45.78%. The district may need to consider how to allocate resources and support more equitably across the schools to address these disparities and ensure all students in the Marysville school district have access to the resources they need to succeed.
