Jayhawk-Linn High has seen fluctuating performance in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from a high of 132 out of 318 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024 (rated 3 stars) to a low of 280 out of 325 in 2018-2019 (rated 1 star). In comparison, the nearby Prairie View High School has a more consistent ranking, while Pleasanton High School has a lower ranking. Jayhawk-Linn High's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP), has been generally below the state and district averages.

The school faces challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance and overall quality compared to other high schools in the state. Jayhawk-Linn High has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, and the school's performance on academic measures for its low-SES student group has been mixed. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted strategies to support student learning, address the needs of economically disadvantaged students, and align their educational practices with higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
