Summary

Robert M. Martin Elementary serves 480 students in grades K–5 in Wichita, within the Andover district. In 2025–26, students scored above Kansas rates in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but only ELA was above the district rate. The most important takeaway is that science is now a relative weakness: its 53% proficiency rate was below the district’s 54% and well behind the average for the other nearby Andover schools.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength: 69% were proficient, 6 percentage points above the district and 23 above the state; it was the second-highest result among six Andover schools. Its rate was also 2 points above the other five schools’ average. Math was 60%, 19 points above the state but about 1 point below both the district and the other five schools’ average. Science was 53%, 15 points above the state but 1 point below the district and 12 below the other schools’ average; it ranked fifth among the six Andover schools. Nearby Wheatland Elementary scored higher in all three subjects, by 13 points in ELA, 27 in math and 30 in science.

Science dropped 12 percentage points from 2024–25, while the state rate fell 3 points; since 2022–23, the school’s math and science rates have fallen even as state rates rose. Its lead over the state has narrowed in all three subjects. Robert M. Martin remains well-ranked by SchoolDigger at the 84th percentile with 4 stars, though it was at the 95th percentile in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s measure for Low Socio Economic Status students is notably lower: the school ranked at the 46th percentile, down from the 83rd in 2023–24. Other context includes a 15.2 student-teacher ratio, above the nearby average of 14.6, and a 9% free/reduced-lunch rate, the lowest reported among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism was comparatively low at 8%, versus 11% districtwide and 18% statewide.
