Summary:
The Hamilton school district in Kansas consists of two schools: Hamilton High School and Hamilton Elementary School. Both schools appear to be underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, poor school rankings, and high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients.
Hamilton High School ranked 325 out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023, with 0% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Hamilton Elementary School had a similar story, with 30% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 10% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 42.82% and 37.62%, respectively.
The student populations of both schools are overwhelmingly white, with very low representation of other racial groups. Despite the underperformance, the spending per student is relatively high, suggesting that factors other than funding may be contributing to the poor academic outcomes. Additionally, Hamilton Elementary School saw a significant decline in its ranking from 2014-2015 to 2012-2013, indicating a potential decline in performance over time.
