Summary

Randolph Elementary is a public elementary school in Topeka, Kansas, serving 350 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Topeka Public Schools district, which is ranked 247 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Randolph Elementary consistently outperforms the Topeka Public Schools district average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grades. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 41.05% of Randolph students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 29.91% for the Topeka district and 44.47% for the state of Kansas. In Mathematics, 31.81% of Randolph students were proficient or better, compared to 22.26% for the Topeka district and 38.73% for the state. However, the school's performance for White students and students with special needs is relatively lower, ranking 499th and 279th, respectively, out of Kansas elementary schools in those subgroups for the 2023-2024 school year.

Randolph Elementary generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Topeka Public Schools district, such as Highland Park Central and Scott Dual Language Magnet, in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, Whitson Elementary, located just 0.63 miles away, consistently outperforms Randolph Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels. Randolph Elementary's high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly higher than the state and district averages, may be a contributing factor to the school's relatively lower performance compared to the top-performing schools in the area.
