High Schools in Hiawatha


Summary:

There is only one high school located in Hiawatha, Kansas - Hiawatha Senior High. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 182nd out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 256th out of 318 in 2023-2024.

Hiawatha Senior High's performance on state assessments in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics is significantly below the state average, with only 16.66% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 27.57%, and just 10.76% proficient or better in Math compared to 21.31% statewide.

The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 46.82% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 and higher per-student spending of $13,135 in 2018-2019, these resources do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The data suggests that Hiawatha may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to help improve student performance at Hiawatha Senior High.
