Comanche County

The Comanche County school district in Kansas consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. Based on the available data, South Central Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with consistently high proficiency rates in core academic subjects and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the middle and high schools in the district have struggled, with significantly lower proficiency rates and lower SchoolDigger rankings.

South Central Elementary School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with 5th-grade students scoring 65% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 75% in Mathematics, well above the state averages. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6, which may contribute to its strong results. However, the middle and high schools in the district have not seen the same level of success, with the high school's 10th-grade students scoring only 20% proficient or better in ELA and 6.66% in Mathematics.

The data suggests that there is a significant gap in academic performance between the elementary school and the higher grade levels within the Comanche County school district. This disparity warrants further investigation to identify the factors contributing to the elementary school's success and explore ways to replicate those strategies at the middle and high school levels, ensuring a more consistent and equitable educational experience for all students in the district.
