Summary:
The 67654 zip code area is home to 3 schools: Eisenhower Elementary, Norton High, and Norton Junior High, all part of the Norton Community Schools district. While Norton High performs reasonably well, the elementary and middle schools in the area struggle, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
Norton High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 113 out of 318 Kansas high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the state and district averages in several key test score metrics, including 10th grade English Language Arts and 11th grade Science. In contrast, Eisenhower Elementary and Norton Junior High struggle with test scores, with proficiency rates below the state and district averages in most subjects and grade levels.
The data suggests that the high rates of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch percentages, may be a contributing factor to the lower test scores at the elementary and middle school levels. Additionally, the differences in student-teacher ratios between the school levels could also play a role in the observed performance gaps. To address these challenges, the district may need to focus on improving academic outcomes, particularly in Mathematics and Science, at the elementary and middle school levels, and explore strategies to support economically disadvantaged students and optimize student-teacher ratios.
