Elementary Schools in Lakin

Summary:

The Lakin Elementary is the sole elementary school located in Lakin, Kansas, serving grades PK-4 with 249 students. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 474th out of 653 schools in 2023-2024 to 546th out of 660 schools in 2022-2023, it continues to face challenges in academic performance and student attendance.

Lakin Elementary's academic proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the state averages, with only 42.34% of students proficient in ELA and 38.36% proficient in Math for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state averages of 44.47% and 38.73%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18.4 may be a positive factor, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.

The data also suggests that the student population at Lakin Elementary may face socioeconomic challenges, with 57.43% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. While these factors can contribute to the school's academic performance, the data does not indicate any correlation between the school's demographics and its performance.
