Best Public Schools in Rossville, KS

Summary:

The city of Rossville, Kansas is home to two schools: Rossville Elementary and Rossville Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Kaw Valley school district. Based on the available data, Rossville Elementary stands out as the stronger performing school in the area, with consistently higher test scores across various subjects and grade levels compared to the district and state averages.

Rossville Elementary has seen its statewide ranking improve over the past few years, going from 473 out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 254 out of 653 in 2023-2024, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is likely bolstered by its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 and higher per-student spending of $10,809. In contrast, Rossville Junior-Senior High School appears to be underperforming, with test scores below the district and state averages, particularly in math and science, and a declining statewide ranking from 261 out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 211 out of 318 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating.

Both Rossville Elementary and Rossville Junior-Senior High School have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, suggesting a significant population of students from low-income families. This socioeconomic factor may be a contributing element to the academic performance of the schools and could require targeted interventions and support to ensure all students in Rossville receive a high-quality education.
