Among the standout schools in the district, Edna Elementary ranks 112 out of 653 elementary schools in Kansas and has a 4-star rating, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels.

Additionally, Meadowview Elementary stands out for its exceptional 3rd grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with schools generally performing below state averages in proficiency. The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 51.91% to 65.2%, indicate a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While some schools are able to achieve high proficiency rates in certain grade levels and subjects, the disparity in performance across the district suggests a need for targeted interventions and a deeper understanding of the factors driving student outcomes in the Labette County school system.
