High Schools in Labette County

Labette County, Kansas is home to two high schools: Labette County High School and Labette County Virtual School. While Labette County High School is the more prominent and established school with 534 students, both schools face challenges in providing quality education and supporting student achievement.

Labette County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments, such as the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP), is below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 53.37% in the 2022-2023 school year, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

In contrast, Labette County Virtual School has a smaller enrollment of 11 students and a lower percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients at 27.27%. However, without more information on the virtual school's performance and offerings, it is difficult to draw conclusions about its effectiveness in providing a comprehensive educational experience.
