Summary

Inman Elementary serves 260 students in prekindergarten through grade 6 in Inman, Kansas. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were above state and district rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The key concern is that schoolwide results hide weaker spots: science trails nearby schools, and fifth-grade ELA and science are particular challenges.

Compared with nearby schools, Inman is above average in ELA, at 55% versus 52%, and math, at 50% versus 46%, but below average in science, at 40% versus 50%. Its ELA result ranks fifth among 11 schools, math is roughly fifth or sixth, and science ranks seventh. Inman is also above state rates by 9 points in ELA, 9 in math, and just 2 in science; its advantages over the district are 4, 6, and 1 point, respectively. Grade-level results vary: fourth-grade math is a standout at 64%, 19 points above the state, while fifth-grade ELA is 44%, 7 points below the state and higher than only two nearby schools with results for that grade.

Results have shifted over time rather than improving steadily: since 2022–23, ELA has risen 5 points to 55%, while math has fallen 5 points to 50% and science 6 points to 40%; science also dropped 21 points from the previous year. SchoolDigger ranks Inman at the 59th statewide percentile with 3 stars, placing it near the middle of nearby schools, despite its above-average ELA and math results. Its student–teacher ratio is 10.5, the second-lowest among the 11 schools, and its free/reduced-lunch rate is 41%, below the nearby-school average of 52%; these are context, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s ranking for effectiveness serving Low Socio Economic Status Students stands out at the 92nd percentile statewide, compared with the school’s overall 59th percentile.
