Hays


Summary:

The Hays school district in Kansas consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The district generally performs above the state average, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.

Kathryn O'Loughlin McCarthy Elementary is a top-performing school in the district, with a 5-star rating and the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels. Woodrow Wilson Elementary is another high-performing school, ranking in the top 20% of Kansas elementary schools and excelling in English Language Arts. Hays High School also stands out, ranking in the top 25% of Kansas high schools and maintaining a 4-star rating.

While the district as a whole performs well, there is a noticeable gap in performance between the top-ranked schools and the lower-ranked schools, such as Lincoln Elementary. This suggests potential opportunities to learn from the highest-performing schools and implement best practices across the district. Additionally, the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower proficiency rates, highlighting the challenge of overcoming socioeconomic barriers to student achievement.
