Summary:
The 67544 zip code area is home to 4 schools serving grades K-12, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Among these, Lincoln Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Kansas and outperforming the district and state averages in core academic subjects. In contrast, Hoisington High and Hoisington Middle have struggled to meet state standards, with proficiency rates below 25% in most subject areas.
The data also reveals that all schools in the Hoisington district have a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.24% at Roosevelt Elementary to 59.43% at Lincoln Elementary. This suggests a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students in the district, which may require additional resources and targeted interventions to address their unique challenges.
The student-teacher ratios also vary across the schools, with Hoisington High having the lowest ratio at 11.3 and Roosevelt Elementary having the highest at 16.6. This difference in resource allocation may contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed between the schools. Overall, the data highlights the need for the Hoisington district to identify and address the root causes of the lower performance at the middle and high school levels, while also leveraging the strengths of high-performing schools like Lincoln Elementary to improve the quality of education across the district.
