Summary:
The 66953 zip code area is home to two schools - Linn Elementary and Linn High, both part of the Barnes school district. While Linn Elementary stands out as a top-performing school in the state, Linn High's performance is more mixed.
Linn Elementary is a standout school, consistently ranking in the top 3% of Kansas elementary schools on the SchoolDigger rankings. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 58.61% of students proficient or better in ELA and 54.99% in Math, well above district and state averages. Particularly strong are the 5th and 6th grade ELA and Math scores, with 75-82% of students proficient or better. The school's high performance may be attributed to its above-average spending per student and low student-teacher ratio of 13:1.
In contrast, Linn High has more mixed results, with 10th grade ELA and Math scores falling below district and state averages. This disparity in performance between the elementary and high school levels suggests a need to investigate the factors contributing to the difference. Both schools, however, serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates around 39%, an important contextual factor to consider.
