Summary:
Quinter Public Schools operates a single elementary school, Quinter Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade in the rural community of Quinter, Kansas. Despite facing socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate, Quinter Elementary has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top half of Kansas elementary schools and outperforming both district and state averages in English Language Arts and Science proficiency.
Quinter Elementary's academic performance is a particular strength, with students exceeding state averages in English Language Arts across all grade levels. In Mathematics, the school lags behind the state average but outperforms the district. The school's Science proficiency rates are also strong, with 56% of 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better. Additionally, Quinter Elementary maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, compared to the state average.
While Quinter Elementary's overall performance is commendable, the school faces some areas for improvement, particularly in Mathematics, where student proficiency rates trail the state average. The school's high free/reduced lunch rate also suggests the need for additional resources and support to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Nevertheless, Quinter Elementary's stable staffing, as evidenced by its low student-teacher ratio, and its ability to foster strong academic outcomes make it a standout school within the Quinter Public Schools district.
