Elementary Schools in Geary County Schools

Summary:

The Geary County Schools district in Kansas is home to 12 elementary schools serving students from a diverse range of backgrounds. While the district as a whole is ranked 106 out of 264 in Kansas and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a closer look reveals significant variation in the academic performance of individual schools.

Three schools stand out as particularly high-performing: Lincoln Elementary, Sheridan Elementary, and Grandview Elementary. These schools consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, other schools in the district, such as Washington Elementary, struggle to meet academic benchmarks.

The data also reveals some broader challenges facing the district, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools and a wide range of free/reduced lunch rates, indicating varying levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While there does not appear to be a clear correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, addressing these systemic issues could be crucial in supporting the growth and development of all students in the Geary County Schools district.
