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 Junior-Senior High appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently ranking higher in statewide assessments and outperforming the elementary school in academic metrics.

Quinter Junior-Senior High has a strong academic record, ranking 102nd out of 327 Kansas high schools and boasting a 60.86% proficiency rate in 11th grade science, significantly above the state average. The high school also benefits from smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 9.5 compared to 12.7 at the elementary school. In contrast, Quinter Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 387th out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 313th out of 660 in 2022-2023.

While Quinter Elementary serves a more diverse student population, with 91.49% white, 3.19% Hispanic, and 2.13% Asian students, it also has a higher percentage of students (36.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the high school (29.41%). This suggests potential equity concerns that may contribute to the lower academic performance at the elementary level. Overall, the data indicates that Quinter Junior-Senior High is the stronger-performing school in the district, but the declining performance at the elementary school warrants further investigation to ensure all students in the Quinter Public Schools district receive a high-quality education.
