Summary:

The city of Wakeeney, Kansas is home to two schools - Trego Grade School, an elementary school, and Trego Community High, a high school. Both schools have consistently underperformed the state and county averages in academic proficiency across multiple subjects and grade levels, with Trego Grade School ranked 465 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and Trego Community High ranked 201 out of 318 Kansas high schools.

Despite the higher per-student spending, both schools continue to underperform in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency compared to the state and county averages. This suggests a need for a deeper analysis of the factors contributing to the schools' academic challenges, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or resource allocation, in order to develop targeted interventions and support to improve the educational outcomes for students in Trego County.
