Summary:
The Minneola school district in Kansas consists of two schools: Minneola Elementary and Minneola High. While Minneola High is a standout performer, ranking in the top 16% of Kansas high schools, Minneola Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.
Minneola High is the clear standout, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 52 out of 318 Kansas high schools for the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, Minneola Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 93 out of 668 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 282 out of 653 in 2023-2024, despite still maintaining a 3-star rating.
Both schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, Minneola Elementary has a higher student-teacher ratio of 13.5, compared to Minneola High's ratio of 8.5, which may contribute to the high school's stronger performance. Further investigation into the factors behind these differences could help the district identify best practices and develop strategies to support all students in the Minneola school system.
