Elementary Schools in Pretty Prairie

Summary:

Pretty Prairie, Kansas has only one elementary school, Pretty Prairie Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking between 259 and 337 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools, with a 3-star rating for the 2024-2025 school year.

Pretty Prairie Elementary outperforms the state average in Kansas on several key metrics, including English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for all grades, as well as Science proficiency. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to its fluctuating performance and ranking. The school serves a high-need community, with over 55% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, yet it is able to maintain above-average academic achievement, likely due to the district's investment of $13,311 per student and a low student-teacher ratio of 14.7.

Overall, Pretty Prairie appears to have a solid-performing elementary school that is outpacing the state average in several key areas, but still has room for improvement to reach the top tier of elementary schools in Kansas. Addressing attendance issues and continuing to invest in the school's resources could help the school achieve more consistent and higher performance in the future.
