Cherryvale

The Cherryvale school district in Kansas consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools and 1 combined senior/middle school. Based on the available data, Thayer Schools stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, ranking 301 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest of the 3 schools. Thayer Schools outperformed the Cherryvale district and state averages in several key test score metrics, including English Language Arts and Mathematics for multiple grade levels.

Lincoln Central Elementary also performed well, particularly in English Language Arts, with 4th-grade students scoring 57.13% proficient or better, significantly higher than the Cherryvale district and state averages. However, Cherryvale Senior / Middle School struggled across the board, with most test scores well below the state averages.

The data suggests that the Cherryvale school district as a whole may face challenges, as all 3 schools are ranked relatively low within the state and have a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Addressing these issues, particularly at the Cherryvale Senior / Middle School, could be a priority for the district. The differences in spending per student and the varying performance levels across the schools indicate that resource allocation and effective utilization may be areas for the district to examine further.
