Summary

Ingalls Elementary serves 111 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Ingalls, Kansas. In 2025–26, its results were strongest in English language arts (ELA), while math and science were above state averages but did not match the district in both subjects. The most important concern is the sharp drop in math proficiency: it fell 19 percentage points from 2022–23, leaving Ingalls just 3 points above the state.

Compared with nearby schools, Ingalls stands out in ELA and math, while science is a relative weakness. ELA proficiency was 62%, above the state’s 46% and slightly above the Ingalls district at 61%; it also led Montezuma Elementary and Cimarron Elementary, whose average was 49%. Math proficiency was 44%—3 points above the state and 14 above the nearby-school average, but 9 below the district. Science was 54%, 16 points above the state but 5 below the district; Ingalls ranked second nearby, behind Montezuma’s 70%. Attendance is another local comparison to note: chronic absenteeism was 7%, higher than Montezuma’s 3% and Cimarron’s 4%, but below the state’s 18%.

Over time, ELA and science have improved, but math has declined: proficiency moved from 62% to 44% in math and from 47% to 54% in science between 2022–23 and 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile fell from 83 to 66 over that period, and its rating changed from 4 stars to 3; its district percentile is 94, or 5 stars. The school’s student-teacher ratio is 11.2, and 45% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch; these are useful context, not explanations for results. One historical SchoolDigger subgroup result stands out: in 2018–19, Ingalls ranked at the 49th percentile for female students, compared with the school’s 81st overall percentile. That single-year figure cannot show whether the difference persisted.
