Bucklin

The Bucklin school district in Kansas consists of two schools: Bucklin Elementary and Bucklin High. While Bucklin High has earned a respectable 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperformed the state average in 10th grade English Language Arts proficiency, Bucklin Elementary has faced some challenges, particularly in Mathematics proficiency.

Bucklin Elementary's 4th grade students performed well above the state average in English Language Arts, but the school struggled with overall Mathematics proficiency, with only 19.04% of students scoring proficient or better across all grades, compared to the state average of 31.6%. Additionally, Bucklin Elementary had a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 52.9%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional support and resources.

In contrast, Bucklin High appears to be a standout, ranking 118 out of 318 Kansas high schools and earning a 3-star rating. The high school also outperformed the state average in 10th grade English Language Arts proficiency. However, Bucklin High faced challenges in Mathematics and Science proficiency, which could be an area for improvement. The higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Bucklin High compared to the elementary school may contribute to the high school's stronger performance.
