Summary

Quail Run Elementary is a public school in Lawrence, Kansas, serving kindergarten through grade 5, with 421 students. In 2025–2026, its proficiency results were above both the Lawrence district and state averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science. Among 10 nearby schools with results, Quail Run ranked second in ELA and math and third in science, placing it among the strongest overall in the local group.

Math is Quail Run’s strongest subject in comparison with the district, state and nearby-school averages: 62% of students were proficient, 21 points above the state, 17 points above the district and 20 points above the nearby-school average. In ELA, 68% were proficient—22 points above the state, 17 above the district and 16 above the nearby average. Science is the relative weak spot, though results remained above all three benchmarks: 51% were proficient, 13 points above the state, 8 above the district and 8 above the nearby average. Langston Hughes Elementary led in all three subjects; Deerfield Elementary edged Quail Run in science.

Results have followed different paths: ELA gained 6 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and math gained 1 point, while science fell 8 points overall, including a 9-point drop in the latest year. Even so, Quail Run’s science score stayed above the state’s, though its lead narrowed from 28 points to 13. Chronic absenteeism improved from 17% to 9%, below the state’s 18% and the district’s 27%; this is a favorable attendance measure, not proof of what drives achievement. SchoolDigger ranks Quail Run 93rd of 657 statewide, at the 86th percentile with 4 stars; its percentile was 95 in 2020–2021. The student-teacher ratio is 15.4, compared with a nearby-school average of 14.5. Its reported free/reduced-lunch rate is 25%, versus a nearby average of 49%—context about the school, not an explanation for its results.
