Summary:
The 66872 zip code is home to two schools, White City Elementary and White City High, both part of the Rural Vista school district. While both schools face similar socioeconomic challenges, the data suggests that White City High is the standout performer, outranking the elementary school and the district in several key metrics.
White City High is ranked 51 out of 318 Kansas high schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to White City Elementary's ranking of 278 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and a 3-star rating. The high school also outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 10th-grade students. Additionally, White City High has a lower student-teacher ratio and spends significantly more per student than the elementary school.
In contrast, White City Elementary's performance is more mixed, with some grade levels outperforming the district and state, while others underperform. The school also has a higher free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that its student population may face greater socioeconomic challenges. While the data suggests that funding and other factors may play a role in the performance gap between the two schools, further analysis would be needed to fully understand the underlying causes.
