Summary:
The McLouth school district in Kansas consists of three schools: McLouth Elementary, McLouth High, and McLouth Middle. The district serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools.
McLouth Elementary stands out as the strongest performing school in the district, with higher test scores and a more diverse student population compared to the other schools. In contrast, McLouth Middle is the lowest-performing school, with consistently low test scores and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support.
McLouth High has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 63rd out of 320 Kansas high schools in 2020-2021 to 178th out of 327 in 2022-2023. This suggests a need to investigate potential factors contributing to this decline. Despite the relatively high spending per student across the district, the outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with the level of investment, particularly at the middle school level.
