Summary

Altamont Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Altamont, Kansas, with 209 students enrolled. This school stands out as a strong performer, consistently outpacing the Labette County and Kansas state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grades.

Altamont Elementary's academic achievements are particularly impressive, with 53.95% of students proficient or better in ELA and 43.64% in Mathematics, compared to 52.17% and 48.5% for Labette County, and 44.47% and 38.73% for the state, respectively. The school's 6th grade students are standouts, with 73.9% proficient or better in ELA and 56.51% in Mathematics, significantly higher than the county and state averages. Additionally, despite having a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.64% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Altamont Elementary's low-income students perform exceptionally well, ranking 103 out of 533 Kansas elementary schools.

While Altamont Elementary's performance is generally stronger than the other nearby schools in the Labette County district, such as Edna Elementary, Bartlett Elementary, Meadowview Elementary, and Mound Valley Elementary, the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, from 9.7% in 2024-2025 to 19.5% in 2024-2025, is a concern that the school should address to ensure continued academic success.
