Elementary Schools in Ashland

Summary:

The Ashland area has only one elementary school, Ashland Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuating statewide rankings and varying proficiency rates on standardized tests.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Ashland Elementary's statewide ranking was 361st out of 656 Kansas elementary schools, a decline from the previous year's ranking of 195th out of 653 schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.83%) and Science (40%) were below the state averages, while their Mathematics proficiency (54.04%) was above the state average. However, in the 2023-2024 school year, Ashland Elementary's performance was stronger, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in multiple subjects.

Ashland Elementary has a relatively small student population of 96 students and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (44.79% in 2023-2024), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $16,214, which is higher than the state average, and it has a low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1. These factors suggest that the school is allocating resources towards smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students, but the fluctuating performance suggests that these resources may not be translating into consistent academic outcomes.
