Summary:
The Leavenworth area in Kansas is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in their academic performance, with Henry Leavenworth standing out as the top performer, while Leavenworth Virtual School lags behind the others.
Henry Leavenworth excels in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with 43.58% and 21.64% of students, respectively, meeting or exceeding state standards in the 2024-2025 school year. This is significantly higher than the Leavenworth district and Kansas state averages. The school also maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%. In contrast, Leavenworth Virtual School struggles academically, with only 12% and 8% of students proficient in ELA and Math, despite having a high graduation rate and low dropout rate.
The other Leavenworth elementary schools, including David Brewer Elementary, Anthony Elementary, and Earl Lawson Early Education Center, fall somewhere in the middle in terms of academic performance. However, all Leavenworth elementary schools share a common challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be a contributing factor to the observed performance disparities.
