Northeast

The Northeast region of Kansas is home to two underperforming schools, Northeast Elementary and North East High, both of which are ranked significantly below the state average. These schools serve students from elementary through high school grades and are located within the Northeast district.

Both Northeast Elementary and North East High have received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating they are underperforming compared to other schools in the state. The schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state averages. Additionally, the schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant population of students from low-income families.

Despite the higher spending per student and better student-teacher ratios at both schools, the academic performance remains poor. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may also play a crucial role in improving student outcomes. The lack of improvement in the schools' rankings and performance over the years indicates a need for a more comprehensive and sustained approach to address the underlying issues and drive meaningful change in the Northeast region's education system.
