Summary

Ruth Clark Elementary K-5 serves 316 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Wichita and is part of the Haysville district. Its 2025–26 results were above the district in English Language Arts, Mathematics and Science, and above the state in Science; among 11 nearby schools, it scored above average in all three subjects. Science is its clearest strength: 46% of students were proficient, 8 percentage points above the state, 18 above the district and 17 above the nearby-school average.

Compared with nearby schools, Ruth Clark ranked third of 11 in both Mathematics and Science, and sixth in English Language Arts. Its 30% Mathematics proficiency was 2 points above the district and 9 above the nearby average, but 11 below the state—the school’s widest state-level gap. In English Language Arts, 41% were proficient, compared with 37% in the district and 35% nearby, but 46% statewide. The Science result was also slightly above the fifth-grade state rate. These comparisons show a school that stands out locally, especially in Science, while Mathematics remains a notable area for growth against state results.

Results have improved since 2022–23: proficiency rose 10 points in English Language Arts, 3 in Mathematics and 6 in Science. However, the state gap widened by 3 points in English Language Arts and 7 in Mathematics, while Science’s advantage narrowed by 1 point. SchoolDigger ranked Ruth Clark in the 26th percentile statewide and gave it one star in 2025–26, despite its relatively strong local standing; its percentile has fallen 57 points since 2018–19, though it rose 3 points from the prior year. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 13.1, among the lowest nearby, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 63%, below the nearby average of 76%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also showed a notable strength: for Hispanic students, the school ranked in the 93rd percentile in 2024–25, compared with its overall 23rd percentile that year.
