Kinsley Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Kinsley Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Kinsley, Kansas, serving 157 students in grades 6-12. The school is part of the Kinsley-Offerle school district, which is ranked 109 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kinsley Junior/Senior High School has seen fluctuating performance in its statewide ranking, ranging from 121st out of 318 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024 (3-star rating) to as low as 277th out of 320 in 2020-2021 (1-star rating). The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 19.47% in ELA, 19.47% in Math, and 26.82% in Science, compared to the state averages of 33.55%, 31.6%, and 32.28%, respectively. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.3% in 2021-2022 to 54.14% in 2022-2023.

Interestingly, the nearby Spearville Junior/Senior High school, located approximately 19 miles from Kinsley, has consistently outperformed Kinsley Junior/Senior High School in academic proficiency and statewide rankings. In 2023-2024, Spearville's proficiency rates were 41.58% in ELA, 35.64% in Math, and 48.97% in Science, significantly higher than Kinsley's rates. This suggests that the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Kinsley Junior/Senior High School may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance, and the school may need to focus on more effective strategies and practices to improve student outcomes.

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.
