Linn High

Summary:

Linn High is a public high school located in Linn, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 60 students. The school is part of the Barnes school district, which is ranked 80 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linn High has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 25th out of 323 Kansas high schools in 2012-2013 (5-star rating) to a low of 252nd out of 316 in 2016-2017 (1-star rating). In the most recent school year (2023-2024), Linn High ranked 162nd out of 318 Kansas high schools, with a 2-star rating. The school's proficiency rates in KAP (Kansas Assessment Program) tests were generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 10th grade English Language Arts, Linn High's proficiency rate was 22.22%, compared to the state average of 27.57% and the Barnes district average of 23.52%.

Linn High's performance is generally lower than the nearby Hanover High and Valley Heights Junior/Senior High, which are also part of the Barnes district. The school's relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, up to 49.06% in 2021-2022, suggest that it serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can impact academic performance. Despite having a higher per-student spending of $12,039 in 2018-2019 compared to the state average, Linn High's performance metrics suggest that these resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
