Summary

Chase County Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Strong City, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 218 students. The school is part of the Chase County school district, which is ranked 79 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Chase County Elementary School faces challenges in overall student performance, with proficiency rates below state and county averages, particularly in Mathematics, the school excels in serving its special education students, ranking 12th out of 313 Kansas elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's performance for its White student subgroup has been consistently lower than the state average, with only 1-2 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.7% to 19.7% over the past few years, and growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with 41.28% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may be contributing factors to its academic struggles.

Comparing Chase County Elementary School to nearby schools, its performance on state assessments is generally lower than the Emporia school district schools, such as Walnut Elementary and Timmerman Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, Chase County Elementary School outperforms the nearby W.A. White Elementary and Logan Ave Elementary schools, which are also part of the Emporia district and have lower proficiency rates.
