Summary
Edna Elementary serves 179 students in pre-K through eighth grade in Edna, in southeast Kansas’s Labette County. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency rates were above both district and state results in English language arts (58% versus 53% and 46%), math (54% versus 47% and 41%), and science (64% versus 48% and 38%). Chronic absenteeism was also low: 2%, compared with 12% districtwide and 18% statewide. The clearest takeaway is that science is Edna’s strongest subject, with the school leading its same-grade-span Labette County peers.
Compared with four other Labette County schools serving pre-K through eighth grade, Edna ranks second of five in ELA, third in math, and first in science; its science rate is 64%, versus a peer average of 55%. Results vary by grade, however, and fourth grade is the clearest concern: ELA proficiency was 47%, below the state’s 50% and district’s 55%, while math was 32%, below the state’s 44% and district’s 49%. Edna had the lowest fourth-grade math rate among those five district schools; only Community Elementary was lower among nearby schools reporting that grade. Seventh grade was a bright spot: Edna reached 79% in ELA and 64% in math, both above state and district rates.
Scores have stayed above state averages, but the trend is uneven: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 14 percentage points, math was nearly flat, and science rose 11 points. All three subjects fell in the latest year, including a 19-point drop in science from its 2024–25 high. SchoolDigger gives Edna 4 stars and ranks it at the 72nd statewide percentile, down 21 percentile points from 2021–22; nearby Meadowview Elementary is also at the 72nd percentile, while Guthridge School is at 75, though Guthridge serves only grades 4–5. Edna’s student-teacher ratio is 14.2, above the nearby-school average of 12.1. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was 58%, the second-lowest among the ten nearby schools with data; this is context, not an explanation for results. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger places Edna at the 96th statewide percentile for how well it serves Low Socio Economic Status Students, compared with its overall 72nd percentile.
