Academically, Leavenworth Senior High has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Kansas high schools, with a SchoolDigger star rating fluctuating between 2 and 3 out of 5. The school performs better in some student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, often ranking in the top 15-23 out of 102-110 high schools in Kansas. However, it ranks much lower for African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, with the exception of Science for 11th grade.

Compared to nearby schools, Leavenworth Senior High performs better academically than some lower-ranked schools in the Kansas City school district, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Basehor-Linwood High School and Pleasant Ridge High School. The school stands out for its strong performance in serving military-connected students, ranking 1st out of 12 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024 and 2nd out of 10 in 2021-2022. However, the increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a growing population of students from low-income families, which may present additional challenges for the school.

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.

Open Quote We have been very happy with this high school. They offer a great variety of courses to challenge students at various academic levels. We have been happy with the communication from the school. The school promotes acceptance and respect of all students and fosters an eclectic student population. There are many different groups that students can join whether it be the arts, sports, music related or other which offers students an opportunity to find their niche. Again, I believe this small town feel has fostered a great environment for the students to be themselves and respect others. We will be so sad to leave this high school. Close Quote

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.
