Best Public Schools in Tescott, KS

Summary:

The city of Tescott, Kansas is home to two schools: Tescott Elementary and Tescott Junior High/High School. Based on the available data, Tescott Elementary appears to be the standout school, consistently outperforming the Twin Valley district and the state of Kansas in academic proficiency.

Tescott Elementary has a higher percentage of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, but it was ranked 69th out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in the 2021-2022 school year, earning a 4-star rating. Tescott Elementary also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.

In contrast, Tescott Junior High/High School seems to be performing below the district and state averages in most academic areas. The school's statewide ranking has been more inconsistent, ranging from 40th out of 320 Kansas high schools in 2020-2021 to 237th out of 324 in 2021-2022. While both schools have similar per-student spending levels, the significant difference in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch between the elementary and high school may suggest a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic outcomes that warrants further investigation.
