Hutchinson High School

Summary:

Hutchinson High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Hutchinson, Kansas, with a total enrollment of 1,299 students. The school is part of the Hutchinson Public Schools district, which is ranked 251 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hutchinson High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas high schools over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 195 to 288 out of around 300-325 high schools. The school has maintained a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. Hutchinson High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and years, often less than half the state averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American and White students, who rank 49 out of 50 and 230 out of 295 Kansas high schools, respectively, both with 1-star ratings.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Sterling Junior High/Senior High, Burrton Middle School/High School, and Inman Junior/Senior High School, Hutchinson High School's performance is generally lower. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $10,257 in the 2018-2019 school year is lower than the spending of some nearby schools, though its student-teacher ratio is similar to or better than many of the nearby schools. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Hutchinson High School may be a significant factor contributing to the school's academic struggles, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can have a substantial impact on student achievement.

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.
