Elementary Schools in Emporia

Summary:

The Emporia school district in Kansas is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share a common location, their academic performance varies significantly, with Timmerman Elementary and Walnut Elementary standing out as the top performers in the district.

Timmerman Elementary ranks 278 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools, the highest among the Emporia schools, and boasts the district's highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Logan Ave Elementary struggles, with only 27.15% of students proficient in ELA and 15% in Math, the lowest in the district. The schools also vary widely in their free and reduced-price lunch rates, from 43.6% at Timmerman to 84.02% at W.A. White Elementary, which may contribute to the performance disparities.

Across the Emporia school district, chronic absenteeism remains a concern, with all schools reporting a rate of 19.5% in 2024-2025, higher than the state average. This issue, coupled with the significant performance gaps between the top and bottom-performing schools, suggests the need for targeted interventions and a collaborative approach to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Emporia elementary schools.
