Summary:
The city of Spring Hill, Kansas is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, but there is a wide range in performance between the top and bottom schools.
Spring Hill High School consistently ranks among the top in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the state average. Wolf Creek Elementary School also performs exceptionally well, ranking in the top 20% of Kansas elementary schools with the highest proficiency rates in the district. In contrast, Insight School of Kansas, a virtual high school, has the lowest performance metrics in the district, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages.
The data suggests that factors such as student-teacher ratios and free/reduced lunch rates may play a significant role in driving school performance. The schools with the lowest student-teacher ratios, like Wolf Creek Elementary and Dayton Creek Elementary, tend to have the highest proficiency rates, while the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, like Spring Hill Middle School, have lower proficiency rates. The relationship between per-student spending and student outcomes is not straightforward, suggesting that other factors, such as teaching quality, may be more important in driving school performance.
