Summary:
The Erie High School is the sole high school serving the Erie-Galesburg school district in Kansas. With a total enrollment of 143 students in grades 9-12, Erie High School faces significant academic challenges, ranking 273rd out of 318 Kansas high schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's performance on standardized tests is well below the state average, with only 21.87% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 27.57%, and just 6.24% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 21.31%. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 49.65% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite having a higher per-student spending of $13,773 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.5, Erie High School has been unable to translate these resources into improved student outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has been steadily declining over the past three years, suggesting that the school's performance may be worsening relative to other schools in the state. Further investigation is needed to identify the root causes of the school's challenges and develop targeted interventions to address them.
