Summary

Grandview Elementary is a public elementary school in Junction City, Kansas, serving 83 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Geary County Schools district, which is ranked 106 out of 264 districts in the state.

One of Grandview Elementary's key strengths is its consistent performance in serving low-income students. The school has ranked among the top 1-9 schools in Kansas for low socioeconomic status (SES) student achievement, earning a 5-star rating in this category. Additionally, Grandview students have demonstrated strong academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across multiple grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Grandview's 5th-grade students scored 64.7% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 50.67% for the district and 49.18% for the state.

However, Grandview Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.7% to 22.6% over the past few years. This is an area of concern, as high chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Interestingly, Grandview generally outperforms the other nearby elementary schools in the Geary County Schools district, particularly in terms of test scores and performance of low SES students. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting that its performance may be variable and worth monitoring over time.
