Summary:
The Sylvan-Lucas Unified Junior Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Sylvan Grove area. With a relatively small student population of 116 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, the school appears to have opportunities for personalized instruction. However, the school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with strengths in certain grade levels and subjects but weaknesses in others.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 87th out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 180th out of 318 in 2023-2024. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts for 10th grade were above the state average, its proficiency rates in Mathematics were below the state average across all grades. The school's Science proficiency rates were slightly above the state average for 11th grade but below for 8th grade.
With 42.24% of the school's students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors. The school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,824 in 2018-2019 suggests that the district is investing resources, but the fluctuating statewide ranking indicates that these investments may not be translating into consistent academic success. Without any other high schools in the immediate area to compare to, it is difficult to determine how the Sylvan-Lucas Unified Junior Senior High School is performing relative to its peers.
