Best Public Schools in Zip Code 67578

Summary:

The 67578 zip code is home to two schools, Stafford Elementary and Stafford Middle School/High School, both of which appear to be underperforming compared to state averages. The data suggests these schools face significant challenges, with low academic proficiency rates, high poverty levels, and high spending without commensurate outcomes.

Stafford Elementary is ranked 512 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Stafford Middle School/High School is ranked 202 out of 318 Kansas high schools and has a 2-star rating. Both schools have consistently lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages.

The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, 65.47% at Stafford Elementary and 68.42% at Stafford Middle School/High School, suggest a significant population of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Despite the relatively high spending per student, the schools are not seeing commensurate academic outcomes, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be at play in driving student performance.
