Summary:
Bucklin, Kansas has a single elementary school, Bucklin Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 283 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools in 2024-2025 (3-star rating) and 411 out of 653 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). While Bucklin Elementary has seen variations in its proficiency rates across subjects, it has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which could be a strength in supporting student learning.
Bucklin Elementary serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 51.63% in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may face challenges related to socioeconomic factors that can impact academic achievement. However, the school's per-student spending of $12,104 in 2018-2019 indicates that it has access to adequate resources, though it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning.
Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of Bucklin's lone elementary school. While the school has some strengths, such as its low student-teacher ratio, it also faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance and serving a population with relatively low socioeconomic status. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to help Bucklin Elementary improve and provide a high-quality education for its students.
