Summary

In Eskridge, Kansas, Mission Valley Elementary serves prekindergarten through grade 6 and enrolls 236 students in the Mission Valley district. Its latest results show 39% proficiency in English language arts (ELA), 29% in math, and 24% in science. The clearest concern is science: proficiency is the lowest among nearby schools and has fallen from 56% in 2022–23 to 24% in 2025–26.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject compared with the state, district, and nearby-school averages, while science is the weakest. ELA proficiency is 39%, below the state’s 46% but just above the district’s 38%; the nearby-school average is 48%. Math is 29%, compared with 41% statewide, 36% in the district, and a 43% nearby-school average. Science is 24%, versus 38% statewide, 37% in the district, and a 44% nearby-school average. The school ranks fifth of 10 nearby schools in both ELA and math, and last in science. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so their all-grades averages are useful context rather than exact comparisons.

Over four years, ELA rose 4 percentage points, but math fell 5 and science fell 32. The school’s gap with the state widened in math and science; in ELA, it narrowed slightly in the latest year but remains 7 points below the state. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 20th statewide percentile for 2025–26 (rank 524 of 657, 1 star), while the district ranks at the 49th percentile (2 stars). Attendance is a relative positive: chronic absenteeism is 13%, below the state’s 18% and district’s 26%. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings also differ: Female Students rank at the 37th percentile, above the school’s overall 20th, while Male Students rank at the 14th percentile, down 63 points from 2020–21. With 236 students, subgroup rankings may be sensitive to small numbers.
