Summary:
The Herington school district in Kansas consists of three schools: Herington Elementary, Herington High, and Herington Middle School. The data reveals a mixed performance across the district, with Herington Elementary standing out as the strongest performer, consistently outperforming the state averages in core subject areas. In contrast, Herington Middle School appears to be the weakest performer, with consistently low test scores and a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients.
Herington Elementary is ranked 218 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for all grades in 2023-2024, with particularly strong performance in 4th grade English Language Arts. Herington High is ranked 104 out of 318 Kansas high schools and has a 3-star rating, outperforming the state average in English Language Arts proficiency for 10th grade.
However, Herington Middle School struggled across the board, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for all grades in 2023-2024. The school also had the highest student-teacher ratio and the lowest spending per student in the district, which may be contributing factors to its underperformance. Overall, the data suggests that the Herington school district could benefit from re-evaluating its resource allocation and support strategies to ensure more equitable outcomes for all students.
