Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66956


Summary:

The 66956 zip code is home to two schools: Rock Hills Elementary School and Rock Hills Junior/Senior High School. While the high school is a standout performer with a 4-star statewide ranking, the elementary school has seen a decline in its ranking, dropping from 305 out of 660 Kansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 402 out of 653 in 2023-2024.

The high school outperforms the elementary school on several key metrics, including test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Rock Hills Junior/Senior High School exceeds the state average in 10th grade English Language Arts (27.57% proficient) and 10th grade Mathematics (21.31% proficient), while Rock Hills Elementary School lags behind the state average in most subject areas, with the largest gaps in 5th grade Mathematics (17.38% proficient vs. 32.35% state) and 8th grade English Language Arts (17.85% proficient vs. 22.34% state).

Both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, with Rock Hills Elementary at 53.09% and Rock Hills Junior/Senior High at 54.3% in 2022-2023, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The similar spending per student of around $14,550 for the 2018-2019 school year indicates that funding alone may not be the primary driver of the performance differences, and other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may be more influential.
