Lyons

The Lyons school district in Kansas serves students from 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.

Lyons Central Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, with the highest proficiency rates on state assessments and the district's highest SchoolDigger rating. In contrast, Lyons High School has the lowest SchoolDigger rating but has shown recent improvements in its performance and ranking. The district's schools also vary in their per-student spending, with Lyons High School spending the most and Lyons Central Elementary spending the least.

Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. This suggests potential equity concerns that may be contributing to the disparities in academic performance observed between the schools. To address these challenges, the district may need to focus on ensuring equitable resource allocation and implementing effective strategies to support student learning and achievement.
