Summary

Belmont Elementary School in Shawnee, Kansas, serves 381 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in the De Soto district, which ranks eighth of 268 Kansas districts in the supplied data. Overall results are strong, but the clearest concern is fifth-grade English language arts: 64% of Belmont fifth graders were proficient, 7 points below the district and 3 points below the nearby-school average, with Belmont ranking ninth among the 11 schools compared.

Belmont’s results are well above state and district levels, while comparisons with nearby schools are more mixed. Across all grades, proficiency was 69% in English language arts, 66% in math, and 63% in science—about 23, 25, and 24 points above state results, and 4, 5, and 5 points above district results, respectively. Against nearby-school averages, Belmont was 1 point higher in English language arts and 4 points higher in math, but 3 points lower in science. It ranked eighth of 11 schools in English language arts and seventh in both math and science; math is its strongest subject relative to these benchmarks, while science is its weakest against nearby schools.

Scores have risen overall since 2022–23, but have not improved steadily: English language arts gained 10 points, math 3, and science 5, with science moving sharply up and down along the way. Belmont’s latest SchoolDigger ranking improved to 59th of 657 Kansas schools, at the 91st percentile with 5 stars, up from the 80th percentile the prior year; the nearby-school average is the 82nd percentile. Its student–teacher ratio is 12.2, below the nearby average of 13.1. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is special education students: their statewide percentile rose from 26 to 85 in one year, bringing it to within 6 points of the school’s overall percentile of 91.
