LaCrosse

The LaCrosse school district in Kansas consists of three schools: La Crosse Elementary, La Crosse High, and La Crosse Middle School. While the elementary school stands out as a strong performer, the district faces challenges in mathematics proficiency and socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student outcomes.

La Crosse Elementary is the top-performing school in the district, outperforming the LaCrosse district and state averages in several key test score metrics. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting a potential need for further investigation and intervention. In contrast, La Crosse High has struggled with mathematics proficiency, with only 11.11% of 10th graders meeting the state's standards, compared to 21.31% statewide.

Across the district, all three schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.53% to 52.08%. This indicates a need to consider the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student performance. Additionally, the small enrollment sizes of the schools, particularly the middle school with only 48 students, may present unique challenges and opportunities that should be further explored. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help address these issues and improve the overall quality of education in the LaCrosse schools.
