Summary:
Washington County Schools has only one high school, Washington County High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 164 students. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with 10th-grade students scoring above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but 7th and 8th-grade students scoring below the state average in those subjects. The school's overall performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 270 out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 188 out of 318 in 2023-2024.
Washington County High School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (49.39% in 2022-2023), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's student-teacher ratio is 10:1, which is lower than the state average and may indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $15,037, which is higher than the state average.
While the school's performance is mixed compared to state averages, further analysis and investigation would be needed to fully understand the school's performance and identify opportunities for improvement. The school's declining statewide ranking and mixed performance on state assessments suggest that it faces some academic challenges, but its potential strengths, such as the low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain grade levels and subject areas, could be leveraged to improve overall performance.
