Summary:
The 67834 zip code is home to two schools: Bucklin Elementary and Bucklin High, both part of the Bucklin school district. While Bucklin High School outperforms Bucklin Elementary in academic assessments, the data reveals a significant disparity in performance between the two schools.
Bucklin High School ranks 118th out of 318 Kansas high schools and performs above the state average on English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments for 10th grade students. The school also has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (33.8%) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.7. In contrast, Bucklin Elementary ranks 411th out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and struggles with proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, where the school's performance is significantly below the state average. Bucklin Elementary also has a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (52.9%) and a higher student-teacher ratio of 12.7.
The disparity in academic performance between the two schools may be influenced by a combination of factors, including socioeconomic status, resource allocation, and student-teacher ratios. The higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Bucklin High may contribute to its better academic performance. These findings suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the equity concerns and support the academic success of all students in the 67834 zip code.
