Summary:
The Santa Fe Trail school district in Kansas consists of three schools: Overbrook Attendance Center (elementary), Carbondale Attendance Center (middle), and Santa Fe Trail High. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with Overbrook Attendance Center consistently outperforming the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Overbrook Attendance Center stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with the strongest test scores and the highest spending per student at $13,484. This investment may contribute to Overbrook's academic success, which includes a 49.99% proficiency rate in Mathematics and 29.3% in English Language Arts. In contrast, Santa Fe Trail High lags behind, with only 6.16% proficiency in Mathematics and 17.28% in English Language Arts.
While Carbondale Attendance Center has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 274th out of 368 Kansas middle schools in 2021-2022 to 173rd out of 362 in 2023-2024, it still trails Overbrook Attendance Center in overall academic performance. However, Carbondale's higher test scores compared to the district average and its lower student-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 suggest that the school may be implementing effective strategies to support student learning.
