Summary

Nike Elementary serves 365 students in prekindergarten through fourth grade in Gardner, within the Gardner Edgerton district. In 2025–26, its English language arts (ELA) and math results were both above Kansas averages, but the school’s standing against nearby district schools was weaker, particularly in ELA. The most important finding for parents is that Nike is above the state in both subjects yet trails the average of nearby same-district schools in both—by a much wider margin in ELA.

Math is Nike’s stronger subject relative to the district and state, while ELA is its clearest local weakness. About 49% of students were proficient in math, compared with 41% statewide and 47% districtwide; the average at six other nearby district schools was 54%. In ELA, about 47% were proficient, just above the 46% state average but below the 49% district average and the nearby-school average of 60%. Nike scored above three of those six schools in math, but only one in ELA. Fourth-grade ELA stands out as a particular concern: proficiency was about 41%, versus 56% in third grade, and was below both state and district results.

Results have weakened over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency fell about 2 percentage points and math fell 11 points. SchoolDigger gives Nike a 51st-percentile standing and 3 stars for 2025–26, down from the 84th percentile in 2023–24. Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism was about 10%, compared with 13% in the district and 18% statewide. Nike’s student–teacher ratio is 12.1; its 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate was about 39%, below the 44% average at the other nearby district schools. In SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings of how well schools serve student groups, Nike’s Low Socio Economic Status ranking dropped from the 88th percentile in 2023–24 to the 26th in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 51st percentile. Its Special Education ranking was at the 94th percentile in 2023–24, versus an overall 84th percentile that year. No science result is provided for Nike.
