McLouth

The McLouth school district in Kansas consists of three schools: McLouth Elementary, McLouth High, and McLouth Middle. The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools.

McLouth Elementary stands out with relatively high test scores in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Math, as well as strong performance in 5th-grade Science. However, the school's overall performance lags the state averages in many areas, particularly in 4th and 5th-grade English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, McLouth High struggles with low test scores, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in 10th-grade English Language Arts and Math. McLouth Middle performs relatively well in 6th and 7th-grade English Language Arts, but its Math and Science scores are very low, with proficiency rates in the single digits for most grade levels.

The McLouth school district as a whole is ranked 224 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating a need for a comprehensive review of the district's educational practices and resources to identify areas for improvement. Addressing the challenges in Math and Science, as well as the inconsistent performance across grade levels, will require a targeted and collaborative approach to ensure the success of all students in the district.
