Rolla

The schools in Rolla, Kansas consist of Rolla Elementary (PreK-5) and Rolla Jh/High School (6-12). While the elementary school has shown significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, the high school has maintained a relatively strong position, suggesting the district's resources may be more effectively targeted at the secondary level.

Academically, Rolla Elementary has consistently outperformed the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, while Rolla Jh/High School has mixed results, with 10th-grade Mathematics lagging behind but 10th-grade English Language Arts and overall Science proficiency exceeding the district and state. Both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

The low student-teacher ratios at both schools, 9.8 at the elementary and 5.0 at the high school, suggest class sizes are small, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention to students. However, further analysis would be needed to fully understand the impact on student outcomes and identify opportunities for improvement across the Rolla school district.
