Summary:
The Piper-Kansas City school district consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Piper Creek Elementary and Piper Prairie Elementary), 1 middle school (Piper Middle), and 1 high school (Piper High). The district as a whole is ranked 62 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing above average compared to other Kansas districts.
Piper Creek Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Kansas elementary schools with strong test scores, particularly in science. In contrast, Piper High School has slightly below-average test scores, with around 30% of students proficient in English language arts and 22% proficient in math. Piper Middle School has also seen its statewide ranking drop from 83 to 172 over the past few years, which is an area of concern.
The schools in the Piper-Kansas City district have free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 24-28%, which is slightly higher than the state average. Spending per student also varies, with Piper Creek Elementary at the higher end and Piper Prairie Elementary at the lower end. These differences may contribute to the performance gaps observed between the schools in the district.
