Summary:
The city of Silver Lake, Kansas is home to two schools - Silver Lake Elementary and Silver Lake Junior-Senior High. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Silver Lake school district.
Silver Lake Elementary appears to be a standout school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Kansas and outperforming the state averages on standardized tests. The school has received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and placed 19th out of 653 elementary schools in the state in the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, while Silver Lake Junior-Senior High is still performing well, it does not seem to be as much of a standout, ranking 93rd out of 318 high schools in Kansas and having more mixed test scores.
Both schools have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting they serve a relatively affluent student population. The per-student spending is higher at the junior-senior high school, which could be due to the increased costs of educating older students. The student-teacher ratios are quite low for both schools, which may contribute to their strong performance. Overall, the data indicates that Silver Lake is home to a high-performing elementary school, while the junior-senior high school is also performing well but not quite at the same level as the elementary school.
