Summary:
The city of Meade, Kansas is home to two schools: Meade Elementary and Meade High. While both schools serve the Meade community, the data analysis reveals that Meade High stands out as the stronger performer, consistently ranking among the top 25% of Kansas high schools in recent years.
Meade High boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its excellence in providing a quality education to its students. In contrast, Meade Elementary has a lower 3-star rating and has been ranked in the middle to lower half of Kansas elementary schools. This disparity in performance suggests that Meade district may need to investigate the factors contributing to the declining performance of Meade Elementary.
Both Meade Elementary and Meade High face similar socioeconomic challenges, with relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. Additionally, the similar per-student spending between the two schools, coupled with the difference in their performance, indicates that resource allocation and utilization may be an area for further exploration.
