Summary:
The city of Maple Hill, Kansas is home to a single elementary school, Maple Hill Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. This small school has a predominantly white student population and faces a mix of academic performance challenges and strengths compared to the broader Wabaunsee district and the state of Kansas.
Maple Hill Elementary outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency, but struggles in mathematics and science, with some grade levels falling below district and state averages. The school has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 51st out of 670 Kansas elementary schools to 246th out of 660 schools. This decline in ranking suggests that factors beyond just academic performance, such as the school's small size and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, may be contributing to its overall performance.
Despite the challenges, Maple Hill Elementary has some strengths, including a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 to 1 and a relatively high per-student spending of $13,633. However, the school's small enrollment of just 99 students may limit the resources and diversity available to students. Overall, Maple Hill Elementary provides a unique educational experience in the Maple Hill community, but its academic performance and ranking indicate areas for potential improvement.
