Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66608

Summary:

The 66608 zip code area in Kansas is home to two elementary schools - Logan Elementary and Quincy Elementary. While Logan Elementary appears to be the stronger-performing school, with higher test scores across most grade levels and subject areas, Quincy Elementary struggles academically, with test scores well below the district and state averages.

Logan Elementary has a higher school ranking (444 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools) compared to Quincy Elementary (617 out of 653). However, Quincy Elementary has a much higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (95.12%) compared to Logan Elementary (61.38%), suggesting it serves a more economically disadvantaged student population.

The higher spending per student at Quincy Elementary ($17,027) compared to Logan Elementary ($12,005) does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. Additionally, the lower student-teacher ratio at Quincy Elementary (10.0) compared to Logan Elementary (18.2) does not appear to provide a clear academic advantage. These findings suggest that factors beyond just funding and class size, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and instructional practices, may be more influential in driving student achievement.
