Elementary Schools in Bluestem

The Bluestem school district has only one elementary school, Bluestem Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science are close to the state averages, its Math proficiency rate lags behind.

Bluestem Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 43.21%. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's underperformance. The school's per-student spending is also lower than the state average, which could impact the resources available to support student learning.

Overall, the data suggests that Bluestem Elementary School is in need of improvement to address its academic performance and student engagement. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate, improving instructional quality, and providing targeted support for socioeconomically disadvantaged students may be key areas of focus for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
