Summary:

The 66440 zip code area is home to two schools - Royal Valley High and Royal Valley Elementary, both part of the Royal Valley school district. While Royal Valley High is a standout performer, ranking in the top 17% of Kansas high schools, the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and proficiency rates.

Royal Valley High outperforms the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 36.53% and 30.76% of students proficient, respectively, compared to 33.55% and 31.6% statewide. The school also maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.8, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. In contrast, Royal Valley Elementary's proficiency rates are below the state averages, and its statewide ranking has dropped from 199th to 415th out of 653 Kansas elementary schools in the last two years.

The data indicates a significant disparity in performance between the two schools, which may be influenced by socioeconomic factors, as the high school serves a relatively more affluent student population with a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. Additionally, both schools have experienced declines in their proficiency rates from 2022-2023 to 2023-2024, highlighting the need for further investigation into the potential causes and strategies to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students in the 66440 zip code area.
