Elementary Schools in Canton-Galva

Summary:

The Canton-Galva Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving the Canton-Galva area. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and faces several challenges, including declining academic performance and high rates of economic disadvantage among its student population.

Canton-Galva Elementary is currently ranked 406 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has declined over the past few years, dropping from a 2-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 1-star rating in 2022-2023. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (48.14%), Mathematics (34.13%), and Science (38.09%) are all below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (42.33%), indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Another area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which stands at 19.5% for the 2024-2025 school year. This high rate of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to focus on strategies to improve instructional practices, support economically disadvantaged students, and address the root causes of chronic absenteeism.
