Summary

David Brewer Elementary serves 319 students in grades 1–4 in Leavenworth, Kansas. In 2025–26, 35% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 21% in math. The clearest concern is math: the school’s rate was 20 points below Kansas’s, and 6 points below the average for nearby schools serving the same grades.

ELA is David Brewer’s stronger subject compared with the district and state: its 35% proficiency rate was 3 points above the Leavenworth district and 11 points below Kansas. Math proficiency was 21%, about level with the district but 20 points below the state. Among nearby schools serving the same grades, David Brewer fell between Henry Leavenworth and Anthony Elementary in both subjects. ELA was close to their average, while math was farther below it.

Results have improved since 2022–23: ELA proficiency rose 16 points and math rose 10 points. The ELA gap to Kansas narrowed from 14 points to 11, but the math gap remained about 20 points.
