Elementary Schools in Haysville

The six elementary schools in Haysville all serve PK–5, and their 2025–26 results show a mixed picture: the six-school average was 43% in ELA and 37% in science, compared with state rates of 46% and 38%. The clearest area-wide concern is math: all six schools were below the state’s 41% rate, and their average was 30%, an 11-point shortfall.

Different schools led in different subjects, while Prairie Elementary School was lowest in all three. Oatville Elementary led ELA at 51%, Freeman Elementary led math at 34%, and Rex Elementary led science at 48%. Prairie scored 31% in ELA, 20% in math and 22% in science—15, 21 and 16 points below state rates, respectively. Even Freeman, the math leader, was 7 points below the state; Rex’s science result was 10 points above it. Ruth Clark Elementary K-5 also stood out in science at 46%, above the state, though its ELA and math results were below state rates.

Average results rose from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by 5 points in ELA, 2 in math and 3 in science, but the state gap did not narrow in every subject: it widened by 1 point in math, while science’s gap narrowed by 6 points, in part as the state rate declined. SchoolDigger’s latest statewide rankings put Freeman and Rex at the 36th percentile and Prairie at the 9th; rankings rose from the prior year for five schools and fell for Nelson Elementary. Context also differs: Rex had the lowest student–teacher ratio at 12.8, while Nelson had the highest at 15.1; Oatville’s free/reduced-lunch rate was 55%, compared with Prairie’s 73%. Oatville had the lowest chronic absenteeism, 15%, while Nelson had the highest, 25%.
