Summary:
The LeRoy-Gridley school district in Kansas consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the high school, Southern Coffey County High School, performs relatively well and outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, the elementary and middle schools in the district struggle significantly, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.
The demographic makeup of the schools is predominantly white, ranging from 85% to 92.77%, and the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch is high, ranging from 53.19% at the high school to 80% at the middle school. This suggests that the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to the academic performance issues observed.
The district's financial information shows that it spends between $5,784 and $6,192 per student, slightly below the state average, and has relatively low student-to-teacher ratios, ranging from 7.7 to 10.2. This raises questions about how the district's resources are being utilized and allocated to support student learning, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels where the academic performance is lagging.
