Summary:
The 67005 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Arkansas City school district. While the district is ranked 244 out of 266 in Kansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate stronger academic performance.
Jefferson Elementary is the top-performing school, ranking 437 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and boasting the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science among the elementary schools in the data set. C 4 Elementary also stands out, ranking 359 out of 653 and having the second-highest proficiency rates in the core subjects. While not the highest-performing, Roosevelt Elementary still demonstrates relatively strong proficiency rates compared to the other schools in the area.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Frances Willard Elementary and Adams Elementary. This suggests that students in the district may not have equal access to quality education. Additionally, the high school, Arkansas City High, has the lowest performance among the schools, with proficiency rates well below the state averages, indicating that the challenges faced by the district may be more pronounced at the secondary level.
