Summary:
The Chaparral Schools district in Kansas is home to two elementary schools: Harper Elementary and Anthony Elementary. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade in the Chaparral community.
Based on the available data, Anthony Elementary appears to be the standout school in the district. It consistently ranks higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, with a 2024-2025 ranking of 199th out of 656 Kansas elementary schools, compared to Harper Elementary's 294th ranking. Additionally, Anthony Elementary outperforms Harper Elementary and the overall Chaparral district in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.
While both schools face challenges related to high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (over 68% at each school), Anthony Elementary has a slightly lower percentage in this area. Additionally, Anthony Elementary has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 12.3 compared to 12.8 at Harper Elementary. However, both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.5%, which is an area that may require targeted interventions and support.
