Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66857

Summary:

The 66857 zip code area is home to two schools - Southern Coffey County High School and Southern Coffey County Middle School, both part of the LeRoy-Gridley district. While the high school is performing above state and district averages in several key metrics, the middle school is struggling significantly, ranking near the bottom of Kansas middle schools.

Southern Coffey County High School is ranked 116th out of 327 Kansas high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the state and district averages in several test score metrics, including 36.36% proficiency in 11th grade science and 58.33% proficiency in 10th grade math. In contrast, Southern Coffey County Middle School is ranked 349th out of 362 Kansas middle schools and has a 0-star rating, significantly underperforming the state and district averages in most test score metrics.

The data suggests that the middle school's higher student-teacher ratio of 10.2, compared to the high school's 7.7, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Additionally, the middle school's much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 80% (vs. 53.19% at the high school) could also be a factor in its struggles. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted interventions to support the middle school's improvement could be valuable next steps for the district.
