Summary:
Quenemo’s list includes one school, Marais Des Cygnes Valley Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 5 and enrolling 87 students. Its student–teacher ratio is 9.6, and 69% of students were reported eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The most important finding is the sharp difference between its latest grade-level results: grade 3 math proficiency was 18%, 25 percentage points below Kansas, while grade 4 math was 55%, 10 points above the state.
Marais Des Cygnes Valley Elementary stands out positively in all-grade ELA, but its latest all-grade math result is below the state; there is no second Quenemo school to rank above or below it. In 2025–26, 57% of students were proficient in ELA, 11 points above Kansas and 7 above the Marais Des Cygnes Valley district. Math proficiency was 38%, 3 points below the state but 3 above the district. Grade 3 ELA was also below Kansas—41% versus 52%—while grade 4 ELA was above it, 64% versus 50%.
Results changed notably from the prior year: all-grade math fell 15 percentage points, from 53% in 2024–25 to 38% in 2025–26, while the state increased 2 points. ELA remained above the state, but the school’s advantage narrowed from 17 points to 11 as its result declined from 62% to 57%. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: 45%, compared with 18% statewide and 27% in the district. SchoolDigger’s ranking moved from the 50th percentile in 2023–24 to the 60th in 2024–25, then to the 44th in 2025–26; its latest listed rank is 366 of 657. These figures describe one school and do not allow school-to-school comparisons within Quenemo.
