Summary:

Bucklin High is a public high school located in Bucklin, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 71 students. The school is part of the Bucklin District, which is ranked 145 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bucklin High has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state average. While the school outperformed the state in 10th-grade English Language Arts and 11th-grade Science, it underperformed in 10th-grade Mathematics and overall Mathematics. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from lower-income families. However, Bucklin High has a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.7 to 10.4, indicating a potentially more personalized learning environment. The nearest comparable school, Kiowa County High School, has a higher statewide ranking and generally outperforms Bucklin High in academic metrics, but also has a higher percentage of students from lower-income families.

Bucklin High's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, ranging from a high of 37th out of 323 Kansas high schools in 2012-2013 to a low of 296th out of 326 in 2014-2015. This suggests that the school's performance may be influenced by various factors, and it could be beneficial to investigate the underlying causes of these fluctuations. By focusing on improving Mathematics performance and leveraging its personalized learning environment, Bucklin High may be able to enhance its overall academic outcomes and better serve its student population.

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.
