Chetopa-St. Paul

The Chetopa-St. Paul school district in Kansas consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the top-performing St. Paul Middle School and St. Paul High School, which consistently rank among the best in the state, and the lower-performing Chetopa Elementary and Chetopa High School.

The high-performing schools in the district, St. Paul Middle School and St. Paul High School, boast strong academic results, with students demonstrating high proficiency in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, the lower-performing schools struggle with lower proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics.

Across the district, the schools serve a student population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.62% to 82.09%, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. The district appears to allocate resources effectively, with higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes at the high-performing schools, which may contribute to their strong academic results. However, the fluctuating performance of some schools, such as St. Paul Elementary School, highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and implementation of strategies to maintain and improve academic outcomes throughout the Chetopa-St. Paul school district.
