Summary:
The Central Plains school district in Kansas serves 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 169 out of 266 in Kansas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, Central Plains Elementary School - Holyrood stands out as the highest-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Kansas elementary schools with a 4-star rating. This school has strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, Wilson Elementary School had a dramatic drop in performance, going from a 5-star rating to a 2-star rating in just a few years, with significant declines in test scores across all subjects.
The district as a whole has high free and reduced lunch rates, particularly at the elementary and high school levels, indicating a need for additional support and resources to address the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students. The lower student-teacher ratios at the elementary schools may be a contributing factor to their stronger academic performance compared to the high school, which spends more per student but has higher student-teacher ratios.
