In contrast, Argonia Elementary has a more average performance, ranking 357th out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and earning a 2-star rating.
Argonia High's test scores exceed the state averages in several subjects and grade levels, particularly in English Language Arts. Argonia Elementary's performance is more mixed, with strong math and science scores but lower English Language Arts scores, especially in 5th grade. Both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

This may contribute to the high school's stronger academic outcomes. Given the proximity of the two schools and their shared district, there may be opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices to improve overall educational outcomes in the area.
