Elementary Schools in Ft Larned

The Fort Larned Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving the Ft Larned area. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 191st out of 653 Kansas elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 283rd out of 660 in 2022-2023. While the school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the district and state averages, the school has shown particular strength in science, with 62.22% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 50.46% for the district and 41.44% for the state.

The school has a student population of 441 and a relatively high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with 61% of students qualifying in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.4 is lower than the state average, which could indicate a focus on providing more individualized attention and support to students. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,922.

While the school's performance is mixed, the data suggests there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in areas where the school is underperforming compared to the district and state averages. Targeted interventions and resource allocation could help the school address its areas of weakness and support student success.
