Eureka Junior/Senior High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 81 out of 314 Kansas high schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 246 out of 323 in 2012-2013.

In the most recent school year (2023-2024), Eureka Junior/Senior High ranked 91 out of 318 Kansas high schools and received a 4-star rating.

However, the school has struggled in Mathematics, with 10th-grade proficiency rates ranging from 13.32% to 31.11%, often well below the state average.

The closest comparable school is Flinthills High School, located about 18.5 miles away, which has generally outperformed Eureka Junior/Senior High in terms of statewide ranking and academic performance. Hamilton High, located about 12.6 miles away, is a much smaller school (53 students) and has consistently ranked among the lowest in the state. The exceptional performance of low-SES students at Eureka Junior/Senior High suggests the school may have effective strategies or programs in place to support and engage students from disadvantaged backgrounds, but the school's struggles in Mathematics and the fluctuating statewide ranking indicate areas that require focused attention and improvement efforts.

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.
