Summary

Elkhart Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Elkhart, Kansas, with 189 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elkhart Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low academic performance on state assessments, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's spending per student is also lower than the state average, which may limit the resources available to support student learning. Interestingly, the nearby Rolla Elementary appears to be performing better across several key metrics, suggesting the challenges faced by Elkhart Elementary may be unique to the school or district.

Elkhart Elementary's performance has generally declined over the past decade, with the school falling from a 2-star rating to a 1-star rating in more recent years. This trend is concerning and indicates the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. While the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, the overall picture suggests significant room for improvement in addressing the unique needs of the Elkhart Elementary community.
