Summary

David Brewer Elementary is a public elementary school in Leavenworth, Kansas, serving 337 students in grades 1-4. The school is part of the Leavenworth school district, which is ranked 248 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

David Brewer Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Kansas elementary schools in terms of academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 36.0% to 42.4% in recent years, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.41% to 74.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Pleasant Ridge Elementary and the Fort Leavenworth schools (MacArthur, Eisenhower, and Bradley) demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state and district averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by David Brewer Elementary may be unique to the Leavenworth district, and that collaboration and the sharing of best practices with higher-performing schools could be valuable in helping the school improve student outcomes.
