Summary
Prairie Elementary School serves 407 students in pre-K through grade 5 in Haysville. SchoolDigger ranks it 599th of 657 Kansas schools for 2025–26, in the 9th percentile with zero stars. The central finding is that Prairie’s proficiency rates are below both district and state averages in all three tested subjects.
Across all grades, Prairie’s proficiency was 31% in English language arts (ELA), 20% in math, and 22% in science. That compares with 37%, 28%, and 28% in the Haysville district, and 46%, 41%, and 38% statewide. Prairie also trails the average across 10 nearby schools in each subject: 36% in ELA, 23% in math, and 33% in science. Math is its largest gap from the state, while science is its largest gap from nearby Haysville schools. At the grade level, fourth-grade ELA (26%) and third-grade math (15%) stand out as weak spots; only two nearby schools scored lower in each.
Scores improved from the prior year by 8 points in ELA, 5 in math, and 7 in science, though the longer view is mixed: since 2022–23, ELA rose 10 points, math 1 point, and science fell 1 point. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile improved from 6 to 9 in the latest year, but nearby schools rank from the 23rd to 36th percentiles. Prairie’s student–teacher ratio is 14.0, close to the nearby average of 13.4; its free/reduced-lunch rate is 73%, higher than its five Haysville peers but close to the 75% average across all 10 nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness percentile for Hispanic students shifted from 41 in 2023–24 to 4 in 2024–25 and 8 in 2025–26, while the school’s overall percentiles were 11, 6, and 9 in those years.
