Summary:
Northeast has one elementary school, Northeast Elementary, serving prekindergarten through eighth grade and enrolling 338 students. With no other elementary schools in the area, families cannot compare local schools against one another; the clearest comparison is with Kansas results. The most important finding is that the school’s largest statewide proficiency gap is in math, where its 2025–26 result was 21 percentage points below the state.
Within the school’s results, science stands out as the strongest subject relative to Kansas, while math is the weakest. All-grades proficiency was 33% in science, 31% in English language arts, and 20% in math, compared with state results of 38%, 46%, and 41%, respectively. Grade-level results show a notable exception in eighth-grade science: the school was 3 points above the state, with 42% proficiency versus 39%. Fifth-grade science was 23 points below the state, at 23% versus 46%. Math shortfalls were particularly large in grades four through six, ranging from 27 to 28 points below state results.
Results improved overall between 2024–25 and 2025–26, but the progress was concentrated in science. The school’s three-subject average rose 3 points, and the average gap with Kansas narrowed by 3 points, from 17 to 14. Science proficiency increased 9 points and its state gap narrowed by 12 points; meanwhile, ELA and math gaps widened by about 1 point each. SchoolDigger’s ranking moved from 494 of 653 schools in 2023–24 to 585 of 657 in 2025–26, while its reported percentile fell from 24 to 11; it awarded one star in each of those years. Other context includes a student-teacher ratio of 10.6 and a free/reduced-lunch rate of 74%. Chronic absenteeism was 12%, below the Northeast district’s 14% and Kansas’s 18%.
