Summary

Linn Elementary serves 361 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Dodge City, Kansas. Its 2025–26 results show a sharp contrast across subjects: 46% of students were proficient in science, compared with 25% in English language arts (ELA) and 19% in math. The clearest finding is that science is a genuine strength: Linn led its nearby Dodge City elementary peers in science proficiency, while ELA and math remained much weaker.

Science proficiency at Linn was 8 percentage points above the state’s 38% and 24 points above the Dodge City district’s 22%; it also exceeded the nearby schools’ 25% average by 21 points. By contrast, Linn’s ELA and math results were below the nearby-school averages of 29% and 24%, respectively, and below state results of 46% in ELA and 41% in math. Results also vary by grade: fifth-grade math was a local bright spot at 26%, second-highest among the eight Dodge City schools and above the district’s 19%, while fourth-grade ELA was 18%, below the district’s 31% and state’s 50%.

Science has improved considerably: proficiency rose from 21% in 2022–23 to 46% in 2025–26, a 25-point gain. ELA increased from 19% to 25%, while math edged up from 17% to 19%; the state gap in math widened by 8 points, even as science moved from 10 points below the state to 8 points above it. SchoolDigger places Linn at the 13th percentile statewide with 1 star; its SchoolDigger English Language Learner ranking is notably higher, at the 50th percentile, though it has fluctuated from 81 in 2023–24 to 41 in 2024–25 and 50 in 2025–26. The school also has the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby Dodge City schools, at 28.5 compared with 16.9–26.2, and a free/reduced-lunch rate of 88%, about 3 percentage points above the peer average; these are context, not explanations for its results.
