Summary

Kingman Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Kingman, Kansas, with 337 students enrolled. The school is part of the Kingman-Norwich school district, which is ranked 103 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Kingman Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as its special education students performing relatively well, the school faces several challenges. It has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.7% to 20.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby Norwich Elementary School (19.5%) and Cunningham Elementary (19.5%). Additionally, Kingman Elementary's test scores lag behind the state and district averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with only 45.32% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 38.72% in mathematics.

Kingman Elementary School's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its female, male, and low socioeconomic status students all ranking in the bottom half of the state. The school's lower spending per student ($8,426 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools like Norwich Elementary ($9,626) and Cunningham Elementary ($13,116) may contribute to these challenges. Overall, Kingman Elementary School's declining statewide ranking and socioeconomic factors suggest that the school may need to implement targeted strategies and interventions to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.
