Summary:
The city of Pratt, Kansas is home to a single elementary school, Southwest Elementary. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and has consistently performed above the Pratt district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
In the 2023-2024 school year, Southwest Elementary ranked 333 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools, earning a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. However, in the previous two years, the school achieved a 3 out of 5 star rating, ranking 219 out of 660 schools in 2022-2023 and 232 out of 668 in 2021-2022. This fluctuation in statewide ranking suggests the school's performance has remained relatively strong, even as its precise ranking has varied.
Southwest Elementary serves a student population with a relatively high need, with 45.71% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Despite this, the school has maintained above-average academic outcomes, likely due to its higher-than-average per-student spending of $11,539 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 20.1 to 1. These factors contribute to Southwest Elementary's ability to provide a quality education to its students and support their academic success.
