Quinter Public Schools

The Quinter Public Schools district in Kansas consists of two schools: Quinter Elementary and Quinter Junior-Senior High. Based on the available data, Quinter Elementary appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates.

Quinter Elementary has seen significant improvements in its statewide ranking, moving from a 2-star rating to a 4-star rating in the current school year. The school's proficiency rates range from 37.5% to 56% in ELA and 43.75% to 54.53% in Mathematics, well above the district and state levels. In contrast, Quinter Junior-Senior High has lower proficiency rates, with ELA scores ranging from 25% to 26.92% and Mathematics scores from 0% to 30%.

While Quinter Elementary spends more per student ($14,789) compared to the high school ($11,795), it also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 9.5. Additionally, Quinter Elementary serves a higher percentage of students eligible for free and reduced lunch (36.7%) than the high school (29.41%). These factors may contribute to the differences in academic performance between the two schools, and the district may need to investigate resource allocation and targeted support strategies to address the declining performance at the high school level.
