High Schools in Ft Larned

The Larned Senior High is the sole high school serving the Ft Larned area, providing education for grades 9-12. With a total enrollment of 235 students, the school's performance has declined in recent years, ranking 190 out of 318 Kansas high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Larned Senior High's proficiency rates in core academic subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science are all significantly below the state averages, suggesting students are struggling to meet academic standards. The school's overall proficiency rates across all grades are 18.32% in ELA, 11.66% in Math, and 41.17% in Science, compared to state averages of 33.55%, 31.6%, and 32.28%, respectively. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high-poverty student population, with 50.64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,403, these investments do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's declining performance and underperformance in core subjects indicate that Larned Senior High faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Further investigation may be needed to identify the root causes of these issues and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
