De Soto

Summary:

The De Soto school district in Kansas serves a diverse population of students across 13 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district is home to several standout institutions, with Mill Valley High School and De Soto High School ranking among the top 25 high schools in the state, and Lexington Trails Middle School and Clear Creek Elementary also earning top rankings.

The district's performance is generally strong, with most schools exceeding state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. However, there is some variation, with a few schools, such as Starside Elementary, lagging behind the district and state averages. The free/reduced lunch rates across the district also vary, ranging from 5.08% at Prairie Ridge Elementary to 47.42% at Starside Elementary, indicating a diverse socioeconomic mix within the district.

While the De Soto school district is performing well overall, with several standout schools, there are areas for improvement, particularly in addressing the performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools and ensuring more equitable access to resources and support for all students. The district's focus on academic excellence and effective educational practices has yielded positive results, but continued efforts to address these disparities will be crucial for the continued success of the De Soto school community.
