Summary:
Berryton has one listed school, Berryton Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 6 and enrolling 560 students. With no other local school to compare, families can look to statewide results for context: in 2025–26, the school was ahead of Kansas in all three subjects, with its clearest advantage in science.
Berryton Elementary is the local leader by default; there is no local trailing school. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 52% in science, 51% in math, and 47% in ELA, compared with state results of 38%, 41%, and 46%, respectively. That amounts to leads of 13 percentage points in science, 10 in math, and 1 in ELA. Grade-level results show that strengths are not uniform: fourth-grade math was especially strong at 58%, 14 points above the state, while third-grade math was 2 points below the state. ELA also fell below state results in third grade by 3 points and fifth grade by 4.
Recent results make ELA the clearest area to watch: the school’s all-grade ELA proficiency fell from 50% to 47% between 2024–25 and 2025–26, while the state rose from 44% to 46%, narrowing the school’s lead from 6 points to 1. Math increased from 49% to 51%, and its lead stayed substantial, narrowing slightly from 10.4 to 9.7 points. Science declined from 53% to 52%, even as the state fell from 41% to 38% and the school’s lead widened from 12 to 13 points. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and ranks it 279th of 657, at the 58th percentile; its percentile ranking has fallen from 67 in 2023–24. Other context includes a 14.8 student–teacher ratio and a 34% free/reduced-lunch rate. Chronic absenteeism was 17%, below the Shawnee Heights district’s 20% and the state’s 18%.
