Elementary Schools in Oswego

Summary:

The Oswego area in Kansas is home to two elementary schools, Oswego Neosho Heights Elementary and Service Valley Charter Academy, both of which serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals that these schools are consistently low-performing, with both ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oswego Neosho Heights Elementary has particularly concerning academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently below the Oswego and Kansas state averages. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with 19.5% of students chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year. In contrast, Service Valley Charter Academy has more varied performance, with some grades performing better than the state and district, while others perform much worse.

Both schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 58.7% of Oswego Neosho Heights Elementary students and 63.03% of Service Valley Charter Academy students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the Oswego area may face significant socioeconomic challenges that are impacting student performance across the district. Addressing these equity concerns and the high chronic absenteeism rates should be top priorities for the Oswego school district.
