Summary:
Barber County North, Kansas is home to a single high school, Medicine Lodge Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. With 218 students, the school's performance on state assessments has been inconsistent, with some grades and subjects performing better than others compared to the Barber County North district and the state of Kansas.
Medicine Lodge Junior/Senior High School is ranked 223 out of 318 Kansas high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50% in 2022-2023), indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the higher per-student spending of $15,464 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance remains below the district and state averages.
However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9:1 suggests a potentially favorable learning environment. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the school and its community, focusing on improving student outcomes and supporting the economically disadvantaged population it serves.
