Summary:
The 66040 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Prairie View school district. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students across the district.
Lacygne Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the area, with impressive proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that often exceed state averages. In contrast, Prairie View Middle lags behind the other schools, particularly in Mathematics, where its proficiency rates fall well below the state average.
While Prairie View High has shown steady improvement in its state-wide ranking, moving from 245th out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 143rd out of 318 in 2023-2024, the district as a whole faces potential equity concerns due to the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools. Addressing these challenges and building on the strengths of schools like Lacygne Elementary could be crucial for the district's continued academic success.
