Summary:
The Hutchinson Public Schools district in Kansas is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district faces some systemic challenges, a few schools stand out for their strong academic performance.
Hutchinson Magnet School at Allen consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 38.22% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 29.99% in Math. In contrast, the other schools in the district generally perform well below state averages. Wiley Elementary stands out for its high ELA proficiency rate of 36.95%, while Faris Elementary excels in 5th grade ELA with 48.38% of students proficient or better.
The district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, as well as significant socioeconomic disparities, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 54.05% at Morgan Elementary to 89.54% at Faris Elementary. While the data does not show a clear correlation between factors like spending per student or student-teacher ratios and academic performance, addressing these systemic issues could be key to driving better outcomes for students across the Hutchinson Public Schools district.
