Attica High

Summary:

Attica High is a small public high school in Attica, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 53 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, a lack of diversity, and high poverty rates compared to nearby schools.

Attica High's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is well below the state averages and the nearby Medicine Lodge Junior/Senior High School and Chaparral Junior/Senior High. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 20% of Attica High students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Science, and just 11.76% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 26.74%, 28.89%, and 21.04%, respectively. This has contributed to Attica High's ranking of 260 out of 327 Kansas high schools, placing it in the bottom 20% of the state.

Attica High also stands out for its lack of diversity, with over 94% of its students identifying as white, compared to 90.37% at Medicine Lodge Junior/Senior High School and 78.57% at Chaparral Junior/Senior High. Additionally, 45.28% of Attica High students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the nearby schools. While Attica High has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.3, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for its students. The Barber County North and Chaparral Schools districts will need to address these challenges to improve the educational opportunities for Attica High students.

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.
