Summary:
Ellinwood Public Schools operates a single elementary school, Ellinwood Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Located in Ellinwood, Kansas, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, currently sitting at 411 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools. With a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Ellinwood Elementary faces some challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance across all grade levels.
While the school's 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are relatively strong, the overall proficiency rates for all grades are below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Economically, nearly half of Ellinwood Elementary's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the community.
Despite these challenges, Ellinwood Elementary does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was also above the state average at $11,792. However, these factors alone do not appear to be enough to offset the school's declining performance and other areas of concern. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to help Ellinwood Public Schools improve the academic outcomes and overall standing of Ellinwood Elementary.
