Best Public Schools in Zip Code 67730

Summary:

The 67730 zip code area is home to two schools - Rawlins County Elementary and Rawlins County Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Rawlins County school district. While the elementary school struggles to meet state averages on test scores, the high school appears to be a stronger performer, with a higher statewide ranking and better proficiency rates in several subject areas.

Rawlins County Junior/Senior High School stands out as the top school in the area, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year and ranking in the top 126 high schools in Kansas. In the previous year, it was even higher, ranked 44th in the state and receiving a 4-star rating. The high school also outperforms the elementary school on key test score metrics, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across multiple grade levels.

However, the data also reveals some notable differences between the two schools. Rawlins County Elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 53.37%, compared to 42.61% at the junior/senior high school, suggesting a greater concentration of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the high school has significantly higher per-student spending at $11,157, compared to $6,725 at the elementary school. These factors may contribute to the performance gap between the two institutions and warrant further investigation to understand the underlying reasons for the differences in student outcomes.
