Best Public Schools in Natoma, KS


Summary:

The city of Natoma, Kansas is home to two schools: Natoma High (6-12) and Natoma Elementary. Based on the available data, Natoma Elementary appears to be the standout school in the area, consistently outperforming Natoma High (6-12) and the district and state averages on key metrics.

Natoma Elementary has a higher statewide ranking than Natoma High (6-12), with a current ranking of 256 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools compared to Natoma High's ranking of 187 out of 327 Kansas high schools. Natoma Elementary also boasts higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grades, as well as a lower student-teacher ratio of 6.4 compared to 6.8 at Natoma High (6-12). Despite Natoma High (6-12) spending significantly more per student at $17,446 compared to $13,594 at Natoma Elementary, the academic performance data suggests the higher spending does not translate to better outcomes.

Both schools serve a relatively low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients at over 61% for each school. This indicates the Paradise school district and the Natoma community may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement. However, Natoma Elementary's stronger performance suggests it is better equipped to support its students despite these challenges.
