Summary

R V Haderlein Elementary serves 527 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Girard and is the largest school in its nearby comparison group. Its all-grades English language arts and math results are above state and district averages, though performance varies by grade. The clearest standout is science: 71% of students were proficient, 32 points above the state average.

Science is also well above the district average of 51% and the nearby-school average of 57%, ranking third among eight schools with reported results. In English language arts, Haderlein’s 53% proficiency was 7 points above the state, 5 above the district, and 3 above the nearby average; it ranked fourth of nine nearby schools. Math was 49%—8 points above the state and nearby averages and 5 above the district—ranking third of nine. But those overall results conceal grade-level differences: fifth-grade math was a nearby-group high at 69%, while third-grade math was 35%, 8 points below the state. Fourth-grade English language arts was another soft spot, at 46%, 4 points below the state.

SchoolDigger gives Haderlein 3 stars and ranks it 244th of 657 Kansas schools, in the 63rd percentile. Its percentile fell from 84 in 2023–24 and has stayed at 63 for the past two years, even as math and science scores rose by about 2 and 3 points, respectively, from 2024–25; English language arts was essentially unchanged. A notable subgroup signal is SchoolDigger’s special-education ranking: it dropped 24 percentile points to the 49th percentile in 2025–26, while the overall ranking held at 63rd—a relative decline in this ranking measure of how well the school serves that group. Haderlein’s student-teacher ratio is 15.0, above the nearby average of 13.8. Its free/reduced-lunch rate is 52%, below the nearby average of 65%; these are context about school profiles, not explanations for test results.
