High Schools in Crest

The Crest High School is the sole high school serving the Crest area. With a small student population of 86, the school has shown fluctuating performance, ranking as high as 96th out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022 but dropping to 142nd out of 327 in 2022-2023.

Crest High School's academic performance is mixed, with higher proficiency rates than the state average in 10th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, but lower rates in 11th grade Science and overall English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's overall rating by SchoolDigger is 2 out of 5 stars, indicating below-average performance compared to other Kansas high schools. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 44.19%, suggests it may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,271, which is above the state average, Crest High School's performance remains inconsistent and below-average overall. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement at the school. Further investigation may be needed to understand the school's strengths, weaknesses, and the factors contributing to its performance.
