Summary:
The city of Sylvan Grove, Kansas has just one public high school, Sylvan-Lucas Unified Junior Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it continues to provide education to the local community.
Sylvan-Lucas Unified Junior Senior High School has an enrollment of 116 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11:1, which is relatively small compared to other high schools in Kansas. The school's academic performance is mixed, with English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates generally below the state average, but Science proficiency rates closer to the state average. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 87th out of 327 schools in 2022-2023 to 180th out of 318 schools in 2023-2024, indicating a potential decline in performance relative to other high schools in the state.
One area of concern is the school's significantly below-average Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 42.24%, which suggests the student population faces economic challenges that may impact academic achievement. Despite these challenges, the school's small size and relatively strong Science performance could be areas of strength that the district can build upon to improve overall student outcomes.
