Wichita County Junior-Senior High School

Summary:

Wichita County Junior-Senior High School is a public high school located in Leoti, Kansas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 182 students. The school is part of the Leoti school district, which is ranked 56 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wichita County Junior-Senior High School has shown a mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 89 to 216 out of 320-327 Kansas high schools. The school's performance is slightly above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for most grade levels, but below the state average in Science. Interestingly, female students and Hispanic students at the school have consistently outperformed their peers, ranking in the top 30% of Kansas high schools. However, the school's performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds has been relatively low, ranking in the bottom half of Kansas high schools.

The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio may contribute to its overall academic performance, which is generally above the state average in some areas. However, the fact that the Leoti school district outperforms Wichita County Junior-Senior High School in several academic areas suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the district's best practices and apply them at the school level, particularly in supporting ELL and low-income students.

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.
