Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66763

Summary:

The 66763 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Frank Layden Elementary, Frontenac Senior High School, and Frontenac Junior High. These schools are part of the Frontenac Public Schools district, which is ranked 58 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating.

Among the three schools, Frank Layden Elementary stands out as the top performer, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceed district and state averages. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3. In contrast, Frontenac Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 51 out of 327 schools in 2022-2023 to 120 out of 318 schools in 2023-2024, which warrants further investigation.

Across all three schools, the free/reduced lunch rates are relatively high, ranging from 34.08% to 43.25% in 2022-2023, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios between the elementary, middle, and high school levels could suggest variations in resource allocation and staffing priorities within the district.
