Elementary Schools in Macksville

Macksville, Kansas has only one elementary school, Macksville Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating fluctuating over the past few years. While the school spends more per student and has a lower student-to-teacher ratio than the state average, its academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels.

Macksville Elementary has a relatively small student population of 103 students, with a high percentage (66.02%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economic challenge for the school's population. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some strengths, such as 5th-grade students outperforming the state average in ELA and 6th-grade students outperforming the state average in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's overall performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, has been inconsistent, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining a consistently high level of academic achievement.

Despite the school's lower academic performance, Macksville Elementary appears to have a relatively high per-student spending and a low student-to-teacher ratio. This could indicate that the school is allocating resources in a way that may not be directly translating to improved student outcomes. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, programs, and resource allocation decisions could provide valuable insights into how to better support student success at this school.
