Chase-Raymond

The Chase-Raymond school district in Kansas consists of 2 schools: Chase Raymond Primary Intermediate School, an elementary school, and Chase High, a high school. Both schools in the district are struggling to achieve academic success, with consistently low performance on state assessments compared to state averages.

The data shows that both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math than the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13.03% of students at Chase Raymond Primary Intermediate School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 33.55%. Similarly, Chase High had only 22.72% of students proficient or better in ELA, well below the state average. Both schools also have lower proficiency rates in Science compared to the state.

The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, 76.47% at Chase Raymond Primary Intermediate School and 90.91% at Chase High, indicate that the district serves a population with significant economic challenges. Despite the relatively high spending per student, the schools are not achieving strong academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective use of resources and the need for targeted interventions to improve student learning. The small enrollment numbers, with 68 students at the elementary school and 44 students at the high school, may also present unique challenges for the district.
