Summary

Washington Accelerated Learning Elementary is an elementary school in Wichita, Kansas that serves 442 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wichita school district, which is ranked 245 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Accelerated Learning Elementary consistently underperforms the Wichita and Kansas state averages on proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 30.98% of students were proficient or better in ELA compared to 28.89% for Wichita and 44.47% for Kansas. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.7% to 33.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Student subgroup performance is mixed, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school but still lagging behind state averages, while Asian and White students perform poorly compared to their peers statewide.

The nearby Irving Elementary, Linwood Elementary, and Park Elementary also perform poorly on state assessments and have high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, suggesting systemic challenges facing schools in this part of Wichita. In contrast, the two magnet schools in the area, Hyde International Studies/Commun Elementary Magnet and Horace Mann Dual Language Magnet, significantly outperform Washington Accelerated Learning Elementary and the other nearby schools on test scores and other metrics.
