Summary:
The Fort Scott school district in Kansas consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with Eugene Ware Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school, while Fort Scott Senior High struggles to meet proficiency standards.
Eugene Ware Elementary boasts the district's highest test scores, with over 36% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the highest science proficiency rates. In contrast, Fort Scott Senior High has only 18.66% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.18% in Mathematics, significantly below the district and state averages.
The Fort Scott school district faces challenges related to economic disadvantage, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across all schools, ranging from 47.16% at Fort Scott Senior High to 74.84% at Winfield Scott Elementary. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the academic struggles observed, particularly at the secondary level, and the district may need to explore targeted interventions and support systems to address the needs of these economically disadvantaged students.
