Summary:
The Chaparral Schools district in Kansas consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance between the elementary and high school levels, with the elementary schools, particularly Anthony Elementary, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized test scores.
Anthony Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with over 50% of its students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 59% in Mathematics, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Harper Elementary also performs above the district and state averages, though not to the same degree as Anthony Elementary. In contrast, Chaparral Junior/Senior High has seen improvements in its performance, but still lags behind the elementary schools.
The data also reveals some concerning trends, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% across all schools and potential socioeconomic factors, with the elementary schools serving a higher percentage of students from low-income families. Additionally, the small size of Chaparral Virtual School, with only 12 students, raises questions about the school's resources and ability to provide effective support. Overall, the Chaparral Schools district presents a mixed picture, with pockets of excellence at the elementary level and opportunities for improvement, particularly at the secondary level.
