Elementary Schools in Chase County

Chase County, Kansas has only one elementary school, Chase County Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past few years, with a 2-star rating on the SchoolDigger scale. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the state averages, its performance in Science is significantly higher. However, the school faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 41.28%.

Chase County Elementary School's academic performance has remained relatively low, ranking 446th out of 656 schools in 2024-2025, 397th out of 653 schools in 2023-2024, and 376th out of 660 schools in 2022-2023. The school's performance ratings have also remained at 2 out of 5 stars on the SchoolDigger scale over the same time period. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Despite the school's overall low performance, it has some strengths, such as its higher-than-average proficiency rate in Science. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate and the significant proportion of students from low-income families may be contributing factors to the school's challenges. Addressing these issues, as well as exploring how resources are being allocated, could be important focus areas for the school and the Chase County district to improve overall student outcomes.
