Summary

Tescott Elementary serves 69 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade in Tescott, Kansas, and is part of the Twin Valley district. It is much smaller than nearby schools, which enroll 155 to 380 students. Results vary sharply by subject and grade: the school performs especially well in science, but its sixth-grade scores are a concern. Fifth graders scored 65% in English language arts (ELA), 71% in math and 65% in science—14, 26 and 19 percentage points above state results, respectively. By sixth grade, scores fell to 18% in ELA and 24% in math, 24 and 18 points below the state; among the four schools reporting sixth-grade results, Tescott ranked lowest in both subjects. This sharp fifth-to-sixth-grade contrast is the most important finding for families to explore.

Across all grades, science is the school’s clearest strength compared with nearby schools, its district and the state: 65% of students were proficient, versus 38% statewide, 38% in the district and a nearby-school average of 38%. Tescott had the highest science result among the eight schools. Math was also comparatively strong, at 49%, compared with 41% statewide, 42% in the district and a 39% nearby-school average; only Lincoln Elementary scored higher locally. ELA is weaker by comparison: 43% proficiency was 3 points below the state, 1 point above the district and 5 points below the nearby-school average of 48%. Tescott ranked sixth of the eight schools in ELA.

Recent results moved in different directions: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA fell 11 percentage points and math fell 18, while science rose 19. Chronic absenteeism also climbed, from 7% in 2023–24 to 24% in 2025–26, the highest rate among nearby schools and 6 points above the state. SchoolDigger ranks Tescott at the 56th percentile statewide, with 3 stars, down 20 percentile points from the prior year’s 76th-percentile standing. Its student-teacher ratio is low at 6.6, compared with a nearby-school average of 12.3; its free/reduced-lunch rate is 77%, versus 63% locally. As a separate SchoolDigger measure, the school ranked at the 65th percentile for students with low socioeconomic status in 2023–24, compared with its overall 41st percentile that year. In later years, the group’s ranking was closer to the school’s overall standing.
