Summary:
Moscow Public Schools has only one elementary school, Moscow Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in Kansas, the school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 52.93% of students meeting or exceeding standards in 2024-2025, compared to 46.46% for the district and 44.47% for the state.
While Moscow Elementary's mathematics performance is more mixed, with the school trailing the state average in 2024-2025, its 5th-grade math proficiency rate of 50% is significantly higher than the district and state. The school has a relatively small student population of 70 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 8.6 to 1, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the school also faces challenges, such as a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and a high percentage (70%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population.
Overall, Moscow Public Schools appears to have a strong-performing elementary school in Moscow Elementary, which outshines the district and state in several key academic areas. While the school faces some equity concerns, its resource allocation and small class sizes may be helping to drive its academic success. Further analysis and comparison to peer schools could provide additional insights to support the continued improvement of Moscow Elementary and the district as a whole.
