Summary:
The St John-Hudson school district in Kansas has only one elementary school, St John Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past few years, it generally outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels, with the highest proficiency rates in 3rd and 6th grades.
However, St John Elementary struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates below the state and district averages in most grade levels. The school's Science proficiency is particularly low, with only 10.34% of 5th-grade students proficient or better. Additionally, the school has a relatively high rate of chronic absenteeism at 19.5% and a significant population of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 37.27%.
Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at St John Elementary, the academic outcomes do not yet reflect the investment. The school's performance fluctuations and demographic challenges may be contributing to these academic gaps. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions could provide insights to help address these areas of concern and improve the overall academic performance of the school.
