Elementary Schools in School for Deaf

Summary:

The School for Deaf Elementary is the sole elementary school located within the School for Deaf district in Kansas. Serving grades PK-6, the school has 61 students enrolled and is ranked 655 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with test scores well below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.4% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 0% were proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 7.14%, compared to the state average of 45.08%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

Other notable factors include the school's low student-teacher ratio of 4.6, which is quite low compared to typical elementary schools, and the high percentage of students (39.34%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These factors suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in terms of resources, funding, and student demographics, which could be contributing to the poor academic performance.
