Summary

Wiley Elementary is a public elementary school in Hutchinson, Kansas, serving 311 students in grades PK-6. Unfortunately, this school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past five years. On state assessments, Wiley students perform significantly below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and mathematics.

Wiley Elementary faces several challenges that may contribute to its poor academic performance. The school has a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, with 60.45% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Wiley also has a high percentage of special education students, ranking in the bottom 5% of Kansas elementary schools for this subgroup. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12% in 2022-2023 to 19.5% in 2024-2025.

When compared to nearby schools, Wiley Elementary's performance is particularly concerning. The school lags behind other elementary schools in the Hutchinson Public Schools district, as well as Nickerson Elementary and Union Valley Elementary, which are in different districts but still within a reasonable distance. Addressing the underlying issues at Wiley Elementary will require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for its students.
