Summary:
The 66523 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: Osage City Elementary, Osage City High, and Osage City Middle School. These schools serve the Osage City community and demonstrate a mix of academic performance, with Osage City Middle School standing out as a top-performing middle school in the state.
Osage City Middle School is the clear standout, ranking in the top 20% of Kansas middle schools for the past 3 years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its strong math proficiency, with 45.57% of students proficient or better, is well above the state average of 31.6%. In contrast, Osage City Elementary has shown improvement in test scores over the past 2 years, but its performance still lags slightly behind state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools, ranging from 48.68% to 58.17%, suggest a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the community. However, the similar spending per student ($7,852 to $7,992) and low student-teacher ratios (11.1 to 14.1 students per teacher) indicate that factors beyond just funding and class size may be contributing to the differences in academic performance observed between the schools.
