Summary

Quail Run Elementary is a public elementary school in Lawrence, Kansas, serving 416 students in grades K-5. The school consistently outperforms the Lawrence school district and the state of Kansas in academic proficiency, particularly in Mathematics where 58.64% of Quail Run students are proficient or better, compared to 41.81% for the district and 38.73% for the state.

Quail Run Elementary has maintained a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and has ranked as high as 34th out of 670 elementary schools in Kansas. The school's performance is strong across different student subgroups, including female students, male students, and white students, who have all ranked in the top quartile of Kansas elementary schools. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated, ranging from 12.8% to 28.0%, which may be an area for improvement.

Interestingly, Langston Hughes Elementary, located just 1.39 miles away, is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top 5% of Kansas elementary schools and significantly outperforming Quail Run in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests that Quail Run may have opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed at Langston Hughes Elementary to further enhance its own educational outcomes.
