This public high school is facing significant academic challenges, with declining performance and proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Canton-Galva Junior/Senior High School is ranked 277 out of 318 Kansas high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments has declined over the past few years, with only 13.63% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 4.54% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 27.57% and 21.31%, respectively. Additionally, the school's Science proficiency rate for 11th graders is 25.92%, slightly below the state average of 27.37%.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $14,856 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school also serves a population with high economic needs, with over 34% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the smaller class sizes may be a positive, the data suggests that the Canton-Galva school district needs to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the significant academic challenges facing Canton-Galva Junior/Senior High School.
