Summary:
The Skyline Schools district in Kansas has one elementary school, Skyline Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is a relatively strong performer within the district, ranking in the top 30% of Kansas elementary schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years.
Skyline Elementary's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with particularly strong results in 5th grade. However, the school struggles in 7th grade ELA, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average. The school serves a student population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at over 54%, indicating significant economic challenges. Despite this, the school has access to adequate funding, spending $11,035 per student in the 2018-2019 school year.
While Skyline Elementary's overall performance is commendable, the school's fluctuating statewide ranking and the concerning 7th grade ELA results suggest areas for improvement. The school's ability to maintain its strong 4-star rating and top 30% ranking in the state, despite serving a high-poverty student population, is a testament to its effective teaching and learning strategies, particularly in the 5th grade. Addressing the 7th grade ELA challenge and continuing to support the school's high-performing areas could further strengthen its position within the Skyline Schools district.
