Summary
Claude A Huyck Elementary is a 304-student K–5 school in Kansas City, Kansas, serving families in the Kansas City district. SchoolDigger ranked it 508th of 657 Kansas schools in 2025–26, at the 23rd percentile with 1 star. Its test results tell a mixed story: Huyck was below the state in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but it was the strongest test scorer among eight nearby schools in its district in all three subjects. That makes Huyck a local bright spot, though its results remain below state proficiency.
Among those eight nearby district schools, Huyck’s proficiency was 40% in ELA, 31% in math, and 37% in science—compared with local averages of 25%, 17%, and 16%. Across all ten nearby schools, only Edwardsville Elementary and Piper Creek Elementary scored higher in each subject. Statewide, Huyck trailed by 6 points in ELA, 10 in math, and 2 in science; math was its weakest subject relative to the state, especially in fifth grade, where proficiency was 27% versus 45% statewide. The school’s 23rd-percentile standing was also the highest among its eight nearby district peers, but it ranked third among all ten nearby schools.
Results have improved over the four reported years: proficiency rose 21 points in ELA and 18 in science, while math gained 8 points and its gap to the state widened by 2 points. Chronic absenteeism fell by 10 points, to 19% in 2025–26, slightly above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings show notably stronger relative standing for English learner students, at the 87th percentile, and African American students, at the 74th percentile, compared with Huyck’s overall 23rd percentile. These are comparative rankings, not measures of individual students’ results. In 2024–25, Huyck’s student–teacher ratio was 15.7, the second-highest among the ten nearby schools, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 79%, around the middle of the local range; these figures are context, not explanations for its results.
