Summary

Blackmore Elementary serves 303 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in El Dorado, Kansas. Its 2025–26 all-grades proficiency results were below the state in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The most important concern is low performance across subjects, with especially weak fourth-grade results: 17% were proficient in ELA and 11% in math, about 33 percentage points below the state in each; Blackmore also had the lowest all-grades proficiency rate among nearby schools reporting results in all three subjects.

Compared with the El Dorado district, Blackmore was ahead in ELA and science but behind in math: its rates were 36% in ELA and 33% in science, respectively 3 and 5 points above district averages, while its 20% in math was 3 points below. All three results trailed state rates: ELA by 10 points, science by 5 and math by 21. Blackmore also fell below nearby-school averages in every subject—36% versus 49% in ELA, 20% versus 37% in math, and 33% versus 47% in science. Science is its strongest subject against the district and state; math is its largest gap compared with nearby schools.

Results have risen overall since 2022–23: ELA proficiency increased 14 points to 36%, math 5 points to 20%, and science 7 points to 33%, though progress has varied by year and the state gap widened over that period in math and science. SchoolDigger ranked Blackmore at the 16th percentile statewide (551 of 657 schools, one star), below nearby schools, which ranged from the 22nd to 78th percentile. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.2, compared with a nearby average of 13.3; its free/reduced-lunch rate is 85%, the highest reported nearby rate, versus a nearby average of 50%—community context, not an explanation for results. One brighter SchoolDigger measure is for Special Education Students: the school’s statewide ranking for how well it serves this group rose from the 3rd percentile in 2023–24 to the 38th in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 16th-percentile standing.
