Summary

Timmerman Elementary is a public elementary school located in Emporia, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 367 students. The school is part of the Emporia school district, which is ranked 215 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Timmerman Elementary consistently outperforms the Emporia district and the state of Kansas in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in Mathematics. The school's 5th-grade students have consistently outperformed their peers in the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's performance for its White and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups is more average, with rankings in the middle to lower half of Kansas elementary schools.

While Timmerman Elementary outperforms the other Emporia elementary schools, the nearby schools in other districts, such as Lebo Elementary and Chase County Elementary, have stronger overall academic performance and higher statewide rankings. Additionally, Timmerman Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, which is a concerning trend that the school and district should address.

My twins are in Timmerman. They absolutely love it. The principal is extremely responsive in replying and addressing any concerns. I am very picky and have only been impressed with this school this far. The teachers you can tell are happy to be there. PTO is great and I feel very warmed and welcome when volunteering in class or at their parties. If there was a scale of 1-10, I'd rate Timmerman a 10! Close Quote
