Summary:
The Jayhawk Elementary is the sole elementary school located in the Jayhawk district of Kansas. Serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, the school has maintained a consistent 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other Kansas elementary schools.
Jayhawk Elementary's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally higher than the district and state averages, though there are some grade-level variations, such as 4th-grade students performing below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which is on the higher side compared to state averages and can negatively impact student learning and outcomes.
With a student population of 347 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.1, Jayhawk Elementary serves a predominantly low-income community, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 63.69%. The school's per-student spending of $12,125 for the 2018-2019 school year suggests adequate funding resources, though it would be valuable to analyze how these funds are allocated to support student learning and school improvement initiatives.
