Best Public Schools in Lecompton, KS

Summary:

The city of Lecompton, Kansas is home to a single elementary school, Lecompton Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 289 students. The school is part of the Perry Public Schools district, which is ranked 152 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lecompton Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district and the state of Kansas. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (62.37%) and Mathematics (41.58%) compared to the district and state averages. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade ELA and Math proficiency rates were also consistently higher than the district and state averages over the past two school years. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year is a concern that should be addressed.

Lecompton Elementary also stands out for its relatively high spending per student of $13,118 in the 2018-2019 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors suggest the district is allocating significant resources to the school, which may be contributing to its strong academic performance. However, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 41.52% in the 2023-2024 school year indicates a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which could be an area to explore further to ensure the school is providing equitable resources and support for all students.
