Summary:

The Nickerson school district in Kansas consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the schools, Nickerson Elementary stands out as a top performer, consistently scoring above the district and state averages on standardized tests. With 45-70% of students proficient or better in core subjects, Nickerson Elementary has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the top 30% of Kansas elementary schools.
